MEDITATIONS IN AN EMERGENCY - FRANK OHARA KARTO...

Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. Frank O'Hara was
one of the great poets of the twentieth century and  along with such widely acclaimed writers
as Denise Levertov  Allen Ginsberg  Robert Creeley  and Gary Snyder  a crucial contributor to
what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry  which  by its vitality alone  became the
dominant force in the American poetic tradition.Frank O'Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and
grew up in New England  from 1951 he lived and worked in New York  both for Art News and for
the Museum of Modern Art  where he was an associate curator. O'Hara's untimely death in 1966 at
the age of forty was  in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery  the biggest secret loss to
American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed. . This collection is a reissue of a volume
first published by Grove Press in 1957  and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm
underlying O'Hara's conviction that to write poetry  indeed to live  you just go on your nerve.
