Selected Poems by Frank O'Hara

This volume presents readers with one of the most delightful and radical American poets of the century. Frank O'Hara influenced a generation of writers. Breaking with the academic traditions that dominated 1950s poetry, his best poems are enriched by his experience of music, sculpture, dance and, especially, the painting of Pollock, Kline and de Kooning.
