About this episode
Dorothea Lasky is a poet who has published five full-length collections of poetry including Milk , Thunderbird , and Rome and a new book of essays called Animal , as well as appearing in various literary journals and illustrious publications like The New Yorker , Paris Review , and American Poetry Review . She and Alex Dmitrov together are the Astro Poets , and their phenomenally popular Twitter account of poetic horoscopes and salty astrology insights has led them to writing the newly released book, Astro Poets: Your Guides to the Zodiac , as well as their own Astro Poets podcast . On this episode, Dorothea talks about slipping between the so-called “high” and “low” realms of poetry and astrology, the occult aspects of her writing, and the ways in which creativity can be a magical and revitalizing process. Pam also discusses other otherworldly poets and answers a listener question about how to utilize the magic of dreams. Our sponsors for this episode are Magic Monday and Mithras Candle .
