From Listening to Overhearing. A Review of Psychoanalysis in a Plague Year

Abstract

At the time, I considered it an honor to have the opportunity to review Moss’s book I &You. And the same is true now for his new book Psychoanalysis in a Plague Year, which is just as fascinating as the first. The technique employed to write it is no different, and the author tells us about it in the preface. After each session, he would choose a sentence and extract it one at a time, leaving it where it lay. He would then proceed to link up the sentences and collate them into a daily verse. In this way, day after day, Moss composed 189 poems.
