i tulips

Ecologist, physicist, and Royal Literary Fund Fellow Mario Petrucci is renowned for combining innovation with a profoundly human aspect, particularly in the creative dialogue between science and poetry. Endlessly inventive, yet thoughtful and musical, his i tulips presents a set of tender modernist lyrics with a strong contemporary edge. Turning his generous eye (or microscope) towards nature, science, everyday human experience, and - with compelling intimacy - love, Petrucci combines an uncompromising urgency with a many-sided, fractal beauty that rewards sustained attention. ""[Petrucci] brings readers a fascinating assortment of insight into the world and what it means to see and experience its beauty.""-The Midwest Book Review
