Frank OâHara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, âwhich, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.â Frank OâHara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. OâHaraâs untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, âthe biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.â âMoving in the way that only simple communication can be moving. . . . His poems always manage a fresh start, free from the dreadful posturings of the conventional verse of his generation" (Kenneth Rexroth, The New York Times Book Review).

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. O Hara is the poet patron saint for Modern tortured souls from Madison Avenue to Main Street. *** First trade edition of his first full-length collection of poems. One of 900 copies. Original publisher's stiff wraps. Trivial hints of toning along the extremities, else Fine - appears virtually unread. A true rarity as such.  *** Frank O Hara invented a form of poetry about the instant communication of overwhelming experience. He captures life s excruciating immediacies so directly that they flow and flood into his reader, like an interpersonal nervous system.Like cells firing impulses across synapses, the poems seem unfiltered biorhythms, transmitting desires, daydreams, impulses, emotions, associations, and perceptions as they happen, granting intimate access to a multifarious Frank O Hara, that would be the envy of Walt Whitman, that other American avatar of conflicted multitudes. Reading him, we seem to live under his very skin, what poet and critic Trace Peterson, calls O Hara s way of inhabiting poems that makes everything possible.
