ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, we chat with C. Rees about their haunting debut collection, NOCTUARY. Beginning with a tarot pull, we entered this episode with an eye toward the divinatory poetics woven through C.'s work, discussing the mercurial ways that our beloved dead can emerge when we are, as C. models so beautifully in this book, keeping the channel open for those encounters.
