A book cover titled 'Today, Aries' by Kalie Pead features a woman with a headpiece resembling a ram, wearing a futuristic outfit, holding a small container, and making a gesture with her hand against a pastel background with geometric lines.

TODAY, ARIES

From Persephone’s descent to the turning of a card, Today, Aries illuminates cosmic binaries to understand all that exists within & outside them. These poems are elegant & inspire infinite perspectives & possibilities past, present, & future to not only find meaning in the cosmos, but one’s place within it. Kalie Pead pays homage to liminal spaces & curiosity in this coming-of-tarot story.
