Book Synopsis
The thirty-nine poems of anima bring a distinctive, archetypal potency to the closing stages of Mario Petrucci's larger i tulips project, the 1111-strong sequence in which this sub-sequence crucially sits.

Mario Petrucci's anima is a revelation of the underside of a human heart submitting to the contradictions of love, doubt and mortality.
