The Pursuit of Myth in the Poetry of Frank O'Hara, Ted Berrigan and
John Forbes traces a tradition of revolutionary self-mythologising
in the lives and works of Frank O'Hara, Ted Berrigan and John
Forbes, as a significant trefoil in twentieth-century English
language poetry. All three had untimely deaths, excited a
collective homage, and developed cult followings that reverberate
today. This book tracks the transmission of the poem as charm, the
poet as charmer, and the reinstitution of troubadour erotics as a
kind of social poetics. Starting with Orpheus, the book refreshes
the myth of the poet as mythmaker, examining how myths of "self"
and "nation" are regenerated for the twenty-first century and how
persons-as-myths are made in community through coteries of artists
and beyond. Duncan Bruce Hose's critical vocabulary, with its
nucleus of mythos, searches the edges of phenomenal enquiry,
closing in on the work of "glamour", "aura", "charm", "possession",
"phantasm", the "daemonic", and the logic of haunting in the
continuing being of these three poets as "charismatic animals".
