The Last Avant Garde: The making of the New York School of Poets
A Doubleday history of the New York School poets—O'Hara, Ashbery, Koch, Schuyler—and the painters, lovers, and drinking companions who surrounded them at the Cedar Tavern and elsewhere. David Lehman is partisan, chatty, and well-informed. Doubleday printed it as a substantial hardcover with a cover photograph that now looks like a period piece. Doubleday remaindered copies slowly, and the book has since become easier to find in used shops than in new ones. Ideal reader: the reader who thinks the best literary movements are held together by friendship and rivalry rather than manifestos, or the poet planning a move to the city.
