The Fool’s Tarot

What if you trusted yourself enough to build a life that feels kind to you?

Inspired by the Fool’s journey through the tarot, The Fool’s Tarot is a collection of poems tracing one person’s journey from self-abandonment toward agency, voice, and a life that feels kind to them. Beginning with the Fool and unfolding through all seventy-eight cards, the poems explore inherited beliefs, identity, rest, grief, joy, boundaries, belonging, and the quiet courage of choosing oneself. 

Rooted in lived experience, yet conversing with universal questions regarding what it means to be human, The Fool’s Tarot offers a poetic journey through the cards and the landscapes they illuminate within us.

“A deeply personal journey and an invitation — to look within, to reimagine, to remember. An inspiring, powerful, and timely reflection on what it means to go from darkness into a lighter way of being, not only for ourselves but for others.”

“Anne’s words are gems of authenticity, humanness and queerness, which the world sorely needs! Deeply touching, so real it sometimes hurts and thus inspires, all at the same time.”

“’I sought to be nurtured, not just nurturing’ stopped me in my tracks. The Fool’s Tarot collection dares the reader to self-preserve, call energy back, and recommitment to self—first. While reading, I couldn’t help but generate all the ways of which I, too, yearn to scrap prescribed misaligned indoctrinations and audit my outlook on my own existence. The Fool’s Tarot offers a build-it-better perspective rooted in self-trust, intuition, and collective courage.”
