The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara by Frank O'Hara
"What his work has always had to say to me, I guess, is to be more keenly interested while I'm still alive. And perhaps this is the most important thing art can say."
It took me a little over a year to finish reading this, as he's really only suitable for reading while you're in certain moods. Or at least that was the case for me. And I can't really say what that mood is, except that pick him up and see if you find yourself really interested in the rambling or really turned off by it, and go with that, but when the mood is right, his fluidity and stream of consciousness and name dropping and linguistic play should really get you. But I think this is the last time I read a huge collected works instead of a collection at a time, as it was meant to be read when it was originally published.
