{"product_id":"killing-plato","title":"Killing Plato","description":"The two sequences of this book form a braided ars poetica: “Killing Plato” and “Writing.” The first is a numbered sequence of twenty-eight poems organized around an accident: a pedestrian has been hit by a truck and is dying in the middle of the road. Various characters appear—the philosopher Michel Serres, Robert Musil, a woman smoothing out her stocking, the truck driver, a boy on a balcony, the Spanish poet Jesús Aguado. At the bottom of the page another tale unfolds: a woman bumps into an old friend, a male poet who has written a book called Killing Plato about “a woman who has been knocked over by the force of a sound.” “Writing,” the second part, unfolds as a lyrical meditation on mortality and literary production.","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32147104956499,"sku":"","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780811228992.jpg?v=1764419419","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/killing-plato","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
