Tarot Poetry Workshop

Step into the historic Mark Twain House for an evening where poetry and tarot intertwine. Poet Laureate of Glastonbury Victoria Nordlund will guide you in creating original poems inspired by the iconic Rider-Waite Tarot Deck and the gorgeous Gilded Age rooms of Mark Twain’s Hartford mansion. This workshop welcomes writers of all levels. All workshops involve writing in the historic house itself, so tickets are extremely limited. SIGN UP TODAY Tickets are $35; $20 for museum members. Hartford residents with SNAP/EBT cards can access $7.50 tickets by sending a photo of their card to reservations@marktwainhouse.org. Add a personal 15-minute tarot reading before or after the workshop for $25 and receive your own Rider-Waite deck to use and take home. If adding a reading to your visit, please indicate whether you’d like your reading before or after the workshop and we will follow up with your assigned timeslot. A portion of this workshop will take place on the third floor of the historic Mark Twain House. The house does not have an elevator, so participants must be able to climb stairs to participate in fully in this workshop. We would like to thank the Greater Hartford Arts Council for their generous support of this program. We are proud to partner with an organization that is passionate about building a stronger community through the arts while giving more people access to arts experiences throughout the Greater Hartford Region.
