A contemporary queer re-visioning of a beautiful feminist tarot deck from the 80s--documenting a conversation across generations and mediums--She Is Sitting in the Night emerges as both a tool for tarot reading and a celebration of queer and feminist cultural production, past and present.

By embracing an older deck and simultaneously developing current and re-visioned ways of interpreting its images and the cards' meanings, She Is Sitting in the Night provides a much-needed informed, aesthetically strong, accessible queer tarot book for feminists, queers, and tarot readers new and old.

Oliver is, more generally, a Montreal-based, trans- identified writer, publisher, and editor. Their work has appeared in Lambda Award-winning The Collection: Short Fiction from the Transgender Vanguard (Topside Press, 2012) and make/shift magazine, among other publications.
