What if emotion were a form of knowledge and poetry the language through which we learn to become whole.
Animais a contemporary bilingual poetry collection that traces the inner journey of individuation through love, loss, memory, and spiritual awakening. Written in both Romanian and English, the book unfolds as a lyrical map of the human psyche, inspired by the Jungian concept of the anima as the inner mirror through which we encounter ourselves and others.
Structured in carefully composed sections, the poems move between the intimate and the philosophical, the corporeal and the cosmic. Love appears not only as romance, but as longing, devotion, rupture, and healing. Time bends, memory becomes tactile, and the body speaks alongside the soul. Nature, astrology, mythology, and everyday life converge into a symbolic landscape where light and shadow coexist.
At once raw and contemplative, Anima explores what it means to feel deeply in a world that often demands restraint. It is a meditation on identity, vulnerability, grief, desire, and the quiet resilience of becoming human, but a doubling of voice, offering readers two resonant paths into the same emotional truth.
This book is for readers of contemporary literary poetry who seek depth rather than simplicity, meaning rather than consolation. It invites you to slow down, to read with both intellect and heart, and to recognize fragments of your own inner life reflected in its verses.
Anima is not a book to be consumed quickly. It is a space to inhabit, a mirror to stand before, and a reminder that to feel is not weakness, but a profound act of knowing.
