Abstract
Abstract Poet Frank Davey demonstrates how paratactic syntax can be used in combination with visual images to create hybrid artworks that occupy an ambiguous position between writing and visual art. The foundation of his work here is the Edwardian postcard with its often unlikely foreshadowing of twenty-first-century history. These postcard poems are part of his larger work in ‘propositional poetics’, in which since 1982 he has been punctuating poems or composing them entirely of propositions, which cannot all possibly be ‘true’ in a referential sense but which create a field of contrasting or clashing meanings and assumptions.
