Let’s get mystical! Elizabeth Metzger -- author of Lying In (Milkweed 2023) -- tells it slant, brings us deep into the five-layer dip of consciousness, and reads Amelia and Alexandria (for filth??).

Also discussed: perfumery; head, heart, and base notes; the inevitable Emily Dickinson, inventor of tarot; wallpaper glue, bed rest, the unborn and the dead; and Amelia's bearded grandmother.

Time to ask the cards. Bug -- Land -- Moon --
