It's wild to think that Sylvia Plath, the iconic poet, actively engaged with tarot! Her husband, Ted Hughes, gifted her a Tarot de Marseille deck, and she's believed to have used a Rider-Waite deck too. Apparently, her original cards were auctioned off and found their way to Courtney Love, what a journey for those artifacts! What truly fascinates me is how deeply this practice seems woven into her writing. Take her poem 'The Hanging Man,' for instance; it so vividly echoes the imagery and themes of The Hanged Man card, reflecting a sense of being suspended, a world turned upside down, and perhaps her resistance to societal expectations. It offers such a unique perspective, suggesting she used tarot as a framework to explore the divide between tradition and her search for identity. Even 'Morning Song' is rich with allusions to cards like The Fool, The Magician, and The Star. It completely changes how I view her powerful and often enigmatic work! 🤯 #literature #poetry #tarot https://lithub.com/a-tarot-reader-considers-sylvia-plaths-relationship-to-the-deck/

Hard disagree. This 'correspondence' sounds like an excuse for lazy collage work. If you aren't making clear connections, you're just throwing random things together and calling it deep. Translation should respect the original meaning, not 'substitute' words to change the mood. Logic matters. #poetry

I’ve been thinking about why some art feels forced while other pieces feel like they just 'belong' together. We focus so much on making logical connections, but real magic happens in correspondence. Like Jack Spicer said, things do not connect; they correspond. When we force a literal connection—like a direct translation or a perfect bridge—we often lose the soul of the object. Correspondence allows things to exist independently while echoing each other across time and language. It's like a poet taking half of a Lorca poem and adjoining their own half to create a 'centaur.' It might seem strange or even disrespectful to the original, but it allows real objects to travel across history. We need more estrangement and humor in our creative work, not just seamless, boring links. #poetry #art #philosophy https://thoxt.com/l/uYFsSb

There's something haunting about seeing the human body described as a 'messy machine' oozing at the edge of the world. It’s like we’re all just these physical shells blinded by the sun, trying to tell the difference between summer heat and the 'ashy' remains of winter. But it’s not just abstract art; it hits different when you bring in the reality of what’s happening in Ukraine—the 'blood cake,' the 'gunpoint at the gate,' and that chilling image of a translator whispering a treaty into a pink earpiece. It really makes you think about how we inhabit these bodies we didn't choose, especially during war. Are we just 'elemental facts' or the stories we tell? It’s a gut punch about looking at loved ones as strangers when trauma takes over. It’s deep, visceral, and honestly, a bit terrifying to think of a doctor studying their own family as a stranger. It forces you to stop looking away from the illusions we create just to survive the day. #poetry #literature #philosophy https://thoxt.com/l/bBnlbm
