PHP 250.00
From the Major Arcana is an intersemiotic translation of the twenty-two trump cards of the Tarot pack into a suite of poems, with opening and closing verses, titled ?A Reading? and ?The Last Card? respectively, which provide the entire collection with a narrative arc, as well as some sense of structural coherence and closure, albeit ironically an open- ended one.
