Mario Petrucci Bücher

On 26 April, 1986 at 1.23 am, in the cool dark of an early Saturday, the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl nuclear complex exploded. This book features a poem about the disaster.

The collection showcases a unique blend of modern love poetry infused with timeless themes, exploring the depths of physical and spiritual love. With vivid imagery and a compelling voice, it captures the essence of devotion while celebrating the nuances of attraction. Mario Petrucci's translations draw inspiration from classical and medieval poets, illuminating the language of love in its various forms, from subtle expressions to profound declarations. This work resonates with both sensuality and sacredness, creating a rich tapestry of emotion and artistry.

Mario Petrucci generates love (and non-love) poetry that refuses to squint in the glare of experience. With characteristic candour and inventiveness, whether through light-filled lyric or a murderous remaking of myth, Petrucci takes us just about everywhere love can go.
