Featuring a new introduction by O'Hara expert and friend, poet and art critic Bill Berkson, \u003ci\u003eRetrieved\u003c\/i\u003e has been completely reformatted and is essential for any reader of twentieth century poetry. As Berkson writes, \"The breadth of what Frank O'Hara took to be poetry is reflected in the many kinds of poems he wrote. . . . Turning the pages of any of his collections, you wonder what he didn't turn his hand to, what variety of poem he left untried or didn't, in some cases, as if in passing, anticipate.\"\u003cp\u003eAmong the most significant post-war American poets, \u003cb\u003eFrank O'Hara\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Grafton, Massachusetts, graduating from Harvard in 1950. After earning an MA at the University of Michigan in 1951, O'Hara moved to New York, where he began working for the Museum of Modern Art and writing for \u003ci\u003eArt News\u003c\/i\u003e. By 1960, he was named the 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 he died in a tragic accident in 1966, recent references to O'Hara on TV shows like \u003ci\u003eMad Men\u003c\/i\u003e or Thurston Moore's new record evidence our culture's continuing fascination with this innovative poet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"City Lights Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084881330237,"sku":"9780872865976","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780872865976_p0.jpg?v=1775249326","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9780872865976","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
