A poem about grief and about tarot, “A Card for Grief” seeks out the varied faces of grief through 10 tarot cards and concludes with a tarot spread for grief based on the poem. In 717 words, the poem journeys through mourning, rage, bereavement, reckoning, and surrender, and ends up somewhere near acceptance. Illustrated with pen and ink sketches by the author and tarot card images from the public domain, this 16-page zine was created entirely over the course of two days in July, 2020, fueled by the author’s own grief.
