Frank O'Hara fue una figura clave en la poesía estadounidense, célebre por su estilo conversacional y espontáneo que se entrelazaba íntimamente con la vida cotidiana y las artes visuales. Sus poemas capturan con frecuencia impresiones e introspecciones inmediatas, reflejando su profunda conexión con la escena artística de Nueva York. O'Hara combinó magistralmente temas profundos con una ligereza lúdica, labrándose un espacio único en el panorama literario.
The first new selection of O’Hara’s work to come along in several decades. In this “marvellous compilation” (The New Yorker), editor Mark Ford reacquaints us with one of the most joyous and innovative poets of the postwar period.
An edition of the Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara, who is a leading light of
the 'New York School' and one of the most significant poets of the twentieth-
century.
Available for the first time in paperback, The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara reflects the poet's growth as an artist from the earliest dazzling experimental verses that he began writing in the late 1940s to the years before his accidental death at forty, when his poems became increasingly individual and reflective.
Frank O'Hara composed poems any time, any place, collaborating with artists,
dancers, musicians and poets. The city was a place of endless possibility, and
he captured the pace and rhythms, the quandaries and exhilarations of city
life. This selection of his work is edited by Mark Ford. schovat popis
