A review by angelaf
Also a Poet: Frank O'Hara, My Father, and Me by Ada Calhoun

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

Also a Poet offers a complex look at the relationship between the author and her father, the poet and art critic Peter Schjeldahl. While I do not think I would enjoy spending time with any of the people in this memoir, I was fascinated by the glimpse into the New York art scene and its luminaries such as Willem de Kooning. Read if you enjoy: challenging relationships, complicated feelings
