In this "marvellous compilation" <i>(The New Yorker), </i>editor Mark Ford reacquaints us with one of the most joyous and innovative poets of the postwar period.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Sensitively chosen and intelligently introduced . . . Ford's selection makes it possible to see more clearly how inward O'Hara's poetry was at its best . . . For O'Hara a poem was truthful when it was personal . . . [His] elegies succeed because long after he discarded any religious belief in immortality, he retained the aesthetic sensibility that took it seriously."<br>--Edward Mendelson, <i>The New York Review of Books</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Frank O'Hara </b>was the author of six volumes of poetry, the first of which was published in 1952.
