Description
Frank O'Hara's poetry is a testament to the city's energy and possibility. His poems capture the pace and rhythms of urban life, drawing inspiration from jazz, film, and painting. With a spontaneity and enthusiasm that belies a deep seriousness, O'Hara's work invites readers into his world. This collection showcases O'Hara's unique voice, which is both intimate and expansive. His poetry is characterized by its disarming directness, its willingness to take risks and explore the complexities of modern life. As he writes in "A Manifesto", "You just go on your nerve." This approach yields poems that are both funny and moving, chatty and elegiac. With this new selection, readers can experience O'Hara's poetry in all its urban vitality.
