Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara: A Memoir
A Farrar, Straus and Giroux memoir by Frank O'Hara's roommate and sometime lover, written long after the poet's death and after the myth had begun to set. Joe LeSueur alternates between O'Hara's poems and the New York City particulars that produced them: lunches at the Museum of Modern Art, parties, arguments, and afternoons at the Cedar Tavern. The book is gossip as literary history, and it knows it. The FSG paperback is solid, with the plain cover that signals serious memoir rather than hagiography. Ideal reader: anyone who believes the New York School is best understood through rent bills and love affairs rather than footnotes.
