The Quarry: Essays

The Quarry presents new and pivotal Susan Howe prose pieces.

A powerful selection of Susan Howe’s key essays, The Quarry moves backward chronologically, from her brand-new “Vagrancy in the Park” (about Wallace Stevens) through essential texts such as “The Disappearance Approach,” “Personal Narrative,” “Sorting Facts; or, 47 Ways of Looking at Chris Marker,” “Frame Structures,” and “Where Should the Commander Be” to end with her seminal early art criticism, “The End of Art.”
