Synopsis

Endlessly inventive, yet thoughtful and musical, 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, Mario Petrucci combines an uncompromising urgency with a many-sided, fractal beauty that rewards sustained attention. Drawing from Rilke and Wallace Stevens - as well as the Black Mountain poets - the arresting imagery and breathtaking energy of i tulips create an immediate impact, while Petrucci's masterful wordplay and technical sophistication allow added dimensions to unfurl for the committed reader.

Media Reviews
'Petrucci is somebody working with a lively circumspection in a tradition he's demonstrating not to have been merely an early-to-mid-20th-century exploration.' - Roy Fisher 'It's the sensation of singularly live words that immediately draws one toward Mario Petrucci's poems. The intensity of address in them, both ofA and aboutA the poem, maintains its friendly but firm grip. In the process, Petrucci is seeing the world, how it all sits or moves amidst anyone's sense of ongoing purpose. He doesn't miss much. These poems are eye openers.' - Bill Berkson 'Poised, balletic, in its exploration of intellectual and physical, light-bound space.' - Simon Jenner
