Description

In Book X of "The Republic", Plato denounces the inability of poetry to speak the truth and expels poets from his ideal Republic. Since this first exile, the conflictual relationship between philosophy and poetry has never ceased to influence the history of Western thought.
Much later, Yves Bonnefoy questioned this passionate relationship, calling for dialogue between the different forms of writing in a superb first collection entitled Anti-Plato.
What does the poet have to say to the philosopher then? How can these warring siblings, philosophy and poetry, agree and intertwine so as to offer readers a constantly renewed vision of the world?
