Meditations in an Emergency by Frank O'Hara
5.0
Meditations in an Emergency is arguably O’Hara’s most famous collection of poetry, dealing with identity, love, and intimacy among daily life in late 50s New York City. It’s about finding a calm in the middle of a storm, and about being inside the storm. It’s about something inside of you being too big to keep hold of.
I brought this with me because, like all of O’Hara’s work, it’s like a conversation with a friend. I always know that I can sit down with Frank and he’ll hear me, and tell me what I need to hear.
