This collection demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O'Hara's conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, "you just go on your nerve." back to top

Frank O'Hara (1926 - 1966)
Francis Russell (Frank) O'Hara (June 27, 1926 - July 25, 1966) was a United States poet who, along with writers like John Ashbery and Kenneth Koch, was a key member of what was known as the New York School. Frank O'Hara, the son of Russell Joseph O'Hara and Katherine Broderick, was born in Baltimore, grew up in Massachusetts and moved to New York City in 1951. His work was immediate and were often quickly typed out. (One collection, Lunch Poems was so named because he typed them up on his lunch hour.) Low and high cultural references mingle easily in his work, with an often dreamlike lyricism. His most anthologized poems are " Why I Am Not a Painter " and " The Day Lady Died ," the latter about Billie Holiday. O'Hara was active in the art world, working as a reviewer for Art News and as a curator for the Museum of Modern Art. He was friends with a number of prominent artists like Willem de Kooning, Larry Rivers and Bill Berkson. O'Hara died in a freak accident on Fire Island. He was run over by a dune buggy while sleeping on the beach.

Frank O'Hara (1926-1966)
Contributing Editor: David Bergman
Classroom Issues and Strategies
Frank O'Hara's works look so effortless, spontaneous, so stitched from his daily life, that students may forget just how hard it is to make things look easy. It is important to stress the ways the poems are drawn from his life, more than a laundry list of "I do this, I do that." For example, in "The Day Lady Died," the precise and banal details of his train schedule and the presents he is bringing set the stage for the memory of Billie Holiday, a memory that seems to exist out of time. It is Holiday who breaks through the hustle and bustle of his life and has captured through her arther voicesomething nearly eternal. Although she has "stopped breathing" in reality, in his memory of her it is the audience who is dead and she is the one most alive. O'Hara's connection to abstract expressionism is well established. It might be helpful to show the work of Mike Goldberg, Willem De Kooning, or Grace Hartigan. You might want to discuss the relationship between action painting and O'Hara's aesthetic, especially as developed in "Why I Am Not a Painter." O'Hara studied music, and for quite a time believed he would become a composer. He worked with Ned Rorem and was a friend of Virgil Thomson. (The Rorem/O'Hara collaboration is available on CD [PHCD 116].) Invite students to read the poems aloud. One discovers a subtle music in them. O'Hara diverges from modernist poets because of his emphasis on voice rather than on image. For all of his interest in painting, it is the immediacy of O'Hara's voice that is the most striking part of his poetry.

Review: Lunch Poems by Frank O'Hara
O'Hara, Frank. Lunch Poems . San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1964. When reading Lunch Poems for the first time, you have the sensation of overhearing a telephone call or cocktail party conversation, full of references to people you don't know and places you have never been. The conversation is witty, lively, spontaneous, and ranges at times within the same poem-at times within the same line-from incredibly vulnerable and intimate to highly affected and playful. It transforms a mundane world of shoeshines and taxicabs and hangovers (and yes, lunch) into something shinier, brighter. Some poems, like "The Day Lady Died," or "Lana Turner Has Collapsed," use cultural references that have survived the decades, and required no extra glossing. Other references, to painters whose fame has been eclipsed by others', to historical events (Krushchev's visit to New York), and to locations around New York, may require some legwork for readers who didn't live through the fifties and sixties, or who have never been to New York. That work is a small price to pay to appreciate the cultural backdrop of the poems; and even if the latter-day reader misses some of the references, the beauty of O'Hara's work is still compelling. The wittiness and playful high spirits in O'Hara's work are often conveyed by camp, or dramatic emotional high notes that are (sometimes) used for ironic effect. We see this in "Poem (Lana Turner Has Collapsed!)" (78). "Lana Turner has collapsed!" the poem opens breathlessly, then steps back to note in a more mundane fashion the rain and snow of the day on which the speaker saw the headline. The short poem ends on a partly reproving, partly pleading, and all campy note: "I have been to lots of parties/and acted perfectly disgraceful/but I never actually collapsed/oh Lana Turner we love you get up" (78).

You may also view these essays in Acrobat Reader .pdf format: Getting Creative About Elderly Housing by Frank O'Hara Recently I led a discussion among elderly residents in a coastal Maine town. The first question was identifying their major housing problems. As is often the case, property taxes topped the list. The second question was about how much their homes had increased in value in the past year. The group looked at each other and shook their heads in amazement. For a woman on the left it was $25,000; for the couple over there it was more like $40,000. Virtually everyone in the group believed that they had experienced a windfall. This led to a third question. How many would be willing to pay their property taxes for the past year out of these profits-by putting a lien on their home, to be repaid with modest interest upon their death or resale of the home? I pointed out that their taxes- around $5,000-would take away only a small portion of what they reported as their increased equity. The question was based on the principle underlying what are called "reverse mortgages." The answer to this question was swift and decisive. Not on your life, they said to a person. We wouldn't want to take away from our children's inheritance. That wouldn't be right.

Interrogating Culture: Critical Hermeneutics in the Poetry of Frank O'Hara
Mark Tursi
Interrogating Culture: Critical Hermeneutics in the Poetry of Frank O'Hara The poetry of Frank O'Hara's reveals a heightened awareness of the aesthetic and ephemeral nature of ordinary life, and thereby dismantles the traditional dichotomy between art and life. His multivalent poetry reveals that ideologies and values, and the manifestation of these in terms of dominant categories and assumptions (especially gender related), are not simply accessible and consistent, but that both are always constructed and created in regard to various cultural codes. In other words, O'Hara's writing is a recognition that history, culture, beauty, and knowledge are only accessible through representation and interpretation. His poetry actively deconstructs traditional ideological and aesthetic assumptions, both in literature and society, and characteristically rejects any ideology that represses difference. O'Hara's poetry levels the 'significant' with the mundane, (and thereby) rejects traditional modes of poetic transcendence" (Lowney 245), thus providing the reader with a new hermeneutics that is simultaneously a critique of culture and a catalogue of beauty in terms of cultural history and the particular discursive community in which O'Hara wrote. His writing "crushes" the quotidian into the framework of poetic discourse and therefore problematizes traditional conceptions of beauty and art. However, by collapsing these distinctions, the intent is not a rejection of difference, but rather, just the opposite; his poetry reveals an exploration of difference and celebration of

A Tribute to Frank O'Hara
Memorial Day 1950
I've always felt a special connection to Frank's "Memorial Day 1950." For one thing, I rescued it from oblivion. It wasn't in his papers when he died. Then I remembered I had once typed it out in a letter to Kenneth Koch when he was in France on a Fulbright. I had been trying to persuade Kenneth, who at that time was insisting that he and I were the only important young American poets, to include Frank in our mini-cenacle, and sent him Frank's poems in an effort to convince him. I was successful since Kenneth returned persuaded and kept the letter in his files.
The poem's aggressively modernist tone may seem a little dated today, but at the time such figures as Max Ernst, Gertrude Stein, Boris Pasternak, Paul Klee, Auden and Rimbaud were far from being accepted cultural icons, at least in the world of Boston-Cambridge. (The year before, Frank and I had attended a concert that featured the premier of Schoenberg's String Trio. We both loved it, but I remember Frank getting into an argument with a young member of the Harvard music faculty who insisted that Schoenberg was literally crazy, and that Frank was too for liking him.)
If his truculent modernist stance, through no fault of his, inevitably seems old-fashioned today, his political incorrectness, as illustrated in the passage about the sewage singing under his bright white toilet seat, was decades ahead of its time.
