About

Anima is a magazine for contemporary poems which dare to question the dominant materialist paradigm of western culture. We aim to offer the reader thoughtful and intelligent writing from perspectives beyond beyond the everyday world of sense and reason. Poems of metaphysics, mythology and symbolism, of depth psychology or transcendence — all these and more are welcome in our pages.
