Synopsis

A lyrical journey through language, myth & feminine power, Cook weaves her original poetry; her translations of poetry by celebrated French writer Marie-Claire Bancquart; and 15th century French Tarot into a speculative non-fiction narrative. The result relates an afternoon tour of Paris that spans millennia; an excursion that blurs mythic time and clock time into a lived experience that defies categorization.
