If only Frank had learned some discipline, he might have been an interesting poet. Nobody *actually* understands or admires tenuous nonsense strung across a page. ( ) Featured in a blog post at https://booksbeyondbinaries.blog/2019/11/11/guest-post-poetry-from-a-former-skep... If only more of the poems had been like the best Lunch one, "Poem" on page 78 where "Lana Turner has Collapsed!" This one has curiosity, insight inspiration, and is highly a lot of fun to read. Most others are boring and self-indulgent, with the exception of these I enjoyed: A STEP AWAY FROM THEM, CAMBRIDGE, PERSONAL POEM, Ave Maria, and the upbeat tempo in SONG. Nice quote = "Where does the evil go?" I ran across the poem "A Step Away from Them" and bought this collection. I have read through it, listened to it on Audible. This is a collection of proto-beat poems that sets the foundation for many will build on. The poems "Song" "The Day Lady Died" and "Steps" are standout poems in this collection. I'm so damned literary and at the same time the waters rushing past remind me of nothing I have to admit I was caught unprepared by the muscular images of these reveries. The questioning at the core appears against the grain of consumption and conformity. O'Hara isn't proclaiming a revolt but just asking questions. I admit to not knowing much of his biography, but the ideas being bandied about appear earnest, not that the liberation ethics of the more popular Beats were not. I can’t even find a pond small enough to drown in without being ostentatious I told Joel that I didn't see Bukowski in these lines but rather a memory of Crane and Whitman. Perhaps I'm mistaken. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Important poems by the late New York poet published inThe New American Poetry, Evergreen Review, Floating Bear and stranger places. Often this poet, strolling through the noisy splintered glare of a Manhattan noon, has paused at a sample Olivetti to type up thirty or forty lines of ruminations, or pondering more deeply has withdrawn to a darkened ware- or firehouse to limn his computed misunderstandings of the eternal questions of life, coexistence, and depth, while never forgetting to eat lunch, his favorite meal. "O'Hara speaks directly across the decades to our hopes and fears and especially our delights; his lines are as intimate as a telephone call. Few books of his era show less age." --Dwight Garner, New York Times "As collections go, none brings. . .quality to the fore more than the thirty-sevenLunch Poems, published in 1964 by City Lights." --Nicole Rudick, The Paris Review "What O'Hara is getting at is a sense of the evanescence, and the power, of great art, that inextricable contradiction -- that what makes it moving and transcendent is precisely our knowledge that it will pass away. This is the ethos at the center of "Lunch Poems": not the informal or the conversational for their own sake but rather in the service of something more intentional, more connective, more engaged." --David L. Ulin, Los Angeles TImes "The collection broadcasts snark, exuberance, lonely earnestness, and minute-by-minute autobiography to a wide, vague audience--much like today's Twitter and Facebook feeds." --Micah Mattix,The Atlantic Among the most significant post-war American poets, Frank O'Hara grew up in Grafton, MA, graduating from Harvard in 1950. After earning an MA at Michigan in 1951, O'Hara moved to New York, where he began working for the Museum of Modern Art and writing for Art News. By 1960, he was named Assistant Curator of Painting and Sculpture Exhibitions at MOMA. Along with John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler, and Barbara Guest, he is considered an original member of the New York School. Though hedied in a tragic accident in 1966, recent references to O'Hara on TV shows like Mad Men or Thurston Moore's new single evidence our culture's continuing fascination with this innovative poet.
