Frank O'Hara speaks!

Last night, a dozen of us gathered for a lively discussion of Brad Gooch's City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O'Hara that conincluded readings of three O'Hara poems. If you'd like to hear the poet himself read some of his works, here's a YouTube link courtesy of Bernard Welt.


In addition, Ernie Raskauskas was kind enough to share this delightful 2019 reminiscence of Joe LeSueur, O'Hara's longtime (and long-suffering) roommate and occasional lover, by his nephew, Jason S. Farr, who is also gay.
