Someone had compared a poem I wrote to Frank O'Hara's work, and having never read anything of his, I thought I'd investigate. I think he wrote some excellent poems, but there were a lot of mediocre ones too. At times the syntactic experimentation felt like too much; I can only take so many garden-path sentences/fragments before I start to want to enjoy language again. So in the end, I'm not sure what to make of the comparison.
