3.5 Stars • Frank O'Hara's "Selected Poems" is all about capturing life's moments as they happen, especially in New York City. His poems are like personal chats or diary entries, mixing everyday life with art and culture. He writes about things like having lunch or hearing about Billie Holiday's death, making everyday stuff seem poetic. ⬇️
suvata His style is very relaxed; he doesn't stick to old poetry rules but instead writes how he feels, often jumping from one thought to another. His work shows love for his friends, art, and the city he lived in, influencing a lot of poets who came after him by showing that poetry can be about the little, everyday things too. 1mo
