Summary

Between the cobblestones,il lupa waited alone, whispered, "Renew yourlove. Restore your heart. Come into this wide world,this stream of clarity."The mysteries of the heart continue to intrigue, surprise, and warm the soul of Sophia Puccini-a woman who once dreamed of marrying the Gypsy Kings and running away with flamenco dancers. In her second collection of love poems, Puccini shares her reflections on love written in both the United States and Italy during a three-year period.Puccini has loved many men in her lifetime, including Nietzsche, Kafka, Thoreau, Krishnamurti, Jung, Lorca, Jesus, Cervantes, God, Puccini, Chopin-and even President Bush. In her new compilation of eighty-eight poems, written while she was tending her sheep, sweeping her floors, and traveling in Europe, she proves that through it all, she is still a simple woman who enjoys daydreaming about love. Puccini peppers her poetry with lavish imagery while her words explore a passionate relationship that led her to ask questions, solve dilemmas, and eventually seek the truth.Il Lupais not a collection of clichéd love poems, but rather, a deep, personal glimpse into a very profound-sometimes confusing-sensual relationship.
