Frank OHara (192666) composed poems any time, any place, collaborating with and inspired by a circle of artists, musicians and poets, immersed in the creative life of New York. For OHara, the city was a place of possibility, both disorientating and exciting, and his poems have an immediacy that draws its energies from the pace and rhythms of city life, and from the contemporary artforms of jazz, film and painting. It is this openness to experience that makes OHara an indispensable poet of the imaginative experience of the modern city. Reviewing this new selection in the Guardian, Charles Bainbridge Frank OHara is a wonderful poet funny, moving, chatty, engaging, enthusiastic, risktaking, elegiac, supremely urban and anything that encourages people to read him is a good thing. His poems have a disarming intimacy, a kind spontaneous enthusiasm and his work proves, with tremendous elan and energy, that you dont have to adopt a solemn tone in order to write poetry of seriousness and purpose. As OHara himself says of the nature of writing in the brilliantly comic A Manifesto: You just go on your nerve. If someones chasing you down the street with a knife you just run, you dont turn around and shout, Give it up! I was a track star for Mineola Prep.

There were definitely some poems that resonated with me, but others fell flat. It's a mixed bag overall. For a casual read while sipping coffee, it works, but don't expect every poem to be a gem.

Not What I Expected
I thought this book would be more about the struggles of being a painter, but it’s actually pretty abstract. Some lines are nice, but the overall vibe didn’t hit home for me.

Thought-Provoking and Relatable
This book really made me think! The author has a way of expressing feelings that I didn’t know I had. It’s a great addition to my collection, perfect for late-night reading.

A Mixed Experience
I appreciate the effort that went into the poems, but some could use more depth. It’s decent for a quick read, but if you’re looking for profound insights, you might want to look elsewhere.

Beautiful Poetry Collection
I really enjoyed this collection of poems. The themes are relatable, and the author's style is just captivating. I gifted it to my friend who loves poetry, and she couldn't put it down!
