Frank O’Hara, a poet whom Mark Doty described as “Urbane, ironic, sometimes genuinely celebratory and often wildly funny”, was simultaneously a subtle elegist.
Daniel Kane’s talk will explore and identify how some of O’Hara’s best-loved and fun poems in his book Lunch Poems served as requiems for lost or unfinished art, music, and friendships.
Dr. Daniel Kane is a Reader in English and American Literature at the University of Sussex.
