{"product_id":"killing-plato-chantal-maillard-9780811228992","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 Jes俍 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 \u003cem\u003eKilling Plato\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chantal Maillard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811228991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811228992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Chantal Maillard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986701091071,"sku":"9780811228992","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a643bb96-ec70-4034-bf8c-b90fcad4a89d.jpg?v=1683284814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/killing-plato-chantal-maillard-9780811228992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
