Jeu de Marseilles, Game of Marseilles, is a one-of-a-kind book that was inspired by David Annwn’s poem of the same name and a video interpretation of the poem by film-maker Howard Munson. In his notes on the poem, Annwn writes about the creation of the Surrealist’s pack of Tarot cards by Max Ernst, Andre Masson, and others who were known by the Nazi’s as “undesirables.” While waiting for a chance to leave for the US as the Nazi’s drew near, they created the now infamous Surrealist deck of Tarot cards. Annwn writes, “the images of these cards fired my imagination. The poem celebrates the creation of these works in the face of encroaching danger.” It is a timely poem….a reminder and warning, perhaps, of the rise of white nationalism in the world today.
