This book is a comprehensive approach to interpreting Frank
O'Hara's highly influential work. Frank O'Hara's poetry, initially
inspired by the Modernist avant-garde, underwent a radical change
around 1960. This change parallels the decline of Abstract
Expressionism and the rise of Pop Art. The book includes historical
contextualization as well as practical criticism. The author
analyzes how Frank O'Hara could be regarded. As a Modernist poet,
or as one who realizes that the aesthetic of High Modernism is on
the wane, and is preparing himself for a paradigmatic change.
Earlier poems are best seen as Modernist/avant-gardist, while the
later ones as no less vanguard forays into uncharted territory.
While the book takes up issues such as mimeticism, realism and
abstraction in both poetry and painting, the boredom of the new as
seen by Walter Benjamin, and the representational potential of the
camp aesthetic, the main emphasis is on practical criticism, modes
of reading O'Hara's oeuvre.
Duel text translations of twenty-five Polish poets all under 45.
Practically of the work in this selection was written in the
post-communist period, but in cultural historical terms it reflects
the evolution of a sensibility that began to emerge in the
mid-1980s, when Polish poetry was being realisned contemtiously
with the newly visible traditions of European and American writing,
