“Mara Thomas got to know poet and educator Zoe Tuck through the School of the Alternative in Black Mountain, North Carolina where Zoe taught a class called “Book Magic.” 

“Book Magic” started from the premise that there is a grain of truth to the magic we remember from children’s books and other fantastical literature. And if those books contained a grain of truth, how might participants nurture that grain and write their own magical systems into being?

Enjoy this conversation about the mystical and intuitive parts of the creative process, ranging from friendship to trance poetics and patterned breath to the potency of shared creative spaces.”
