Description
The Last Avant-Garde: The Making of the New York School of Poets By David Lehman, published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in 1999. In the vibrant cultural landscape of post-war America, a group of young poets and artists came together to revolutionize literature. At the heart of this creative ferment were four fast friends - Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler, John Ashbery, and Kenneth Koch - whose friendships and conversations would give birth to some of the most innovative poetry of the 20th century. This richly detailed portrait explores the years 1948-1966, delving into the extraordinary creative ferment of the time and place. The book reveals the powerful influence that a group of visual artists had on the literary efforts of the New York School, as well as the dynamics of creativity itself.
