Teori om det eneste

At nineteen the poet broke his neck in a diving accident, and he became a poet without ever writing about it, until now. The work is in two books. The first, spare and exact, is about the body as nature, about matter and lightness and the mathematics of language across evolution, from flint to drones. The second, looser and more talkative, is a history of a town and a family and an examination of the accident and its consequences, mostly through medicine, where everything is true and everything is a lie.
