Frame (1971-1990)

In the works that make up "Frame" (which brings together six previously published works from two decades: Opera -- Works, Decay, 1-10, Plasma/Parallels/"X", Complete Thought and Conduit, along with two previously uncollected texts: City Fields and "Frame") Barrett Warren crosses shifting cultural terrains by means of deliberate engagements in language. Each work constructs a horizon of language at the boundary of politics and art, with Watten's innovative techniques recalling the poetics of Andre Breton's points sublimes.
