The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

This collection brings together for the first time all of the poems that have so far been discovered -- more than five hundred (500) -- which Frank O'Hara wrote in his lifetime. They reflect his growth as an artist from the earliest dazzling, experimental versus that he began writing in the late 1940's to his last years, when his poems became awesomely individual and reflective. More than any other poet of the second half of the twentieth centure, O'Hara has left a mark on a whole generation of younger poets.
