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 appearthe philosopher Michel Serres, Robert Musil, a woman smoothing out her stocking, the truck driver, a boy on a balcony, the Spanish poet Jess 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.
