ISHTAR

Ishtar is a series of narrative poems dealing with reincarnation, and the Kharmic link between individuals.
The characters are specifically those contained in the first and third cards of the major arcana of the ancient Tarot Pack; The Magician and The Empress. The theme is that of two souls, searching for each other through time and space, a search that continues beyond the grave.
  The poems make up a narrative, and should be read in sequence.

1975
