About the Book
The Six Books of Sonnets deal with the death and rebirth of love, of its mysteries, sacrifices, pure humanity and the joy of living. They reunite chronologically the different developments of an extremely varied and therefore indefinable human feeling which cannot be described with one word. This subject is approached from all angles of psyche [anima] or physis [natura] in a modernized form of sonnet, where the meaning of words and sound are inseparable.
