[O'HARA, FRANK] DIGRESSIONS ON SOME POEMS BY FRANK O'HARA: A Memoir.
New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (2003.) First printing. Posthumous publication of this uncommon and fascinating look at the world of poetry and art in New York City in the mid-20th century. From the dj flap: LeSueur lived with Frank O'Hara from 1955 until 1965, the years when O'Hara wrote his greatest poems, including To the Film Industry in Crisis, In Memory of My Feelings, Having a Coke with You, and the famous Lunch Poems-so called because O'Hara wrote them during his lunch break at the Museum of Modern Art, where he worked as a curator.... Alternating between O'Hara's poems and LeSueur's memory of the circumstances that inspired them, [this] is a literary commentary like no other - an affectionate, no-holds-barred memoir of O'Hara and the New York that animated his work: friends, lovers, movies, paintings, streets, apartments, music, parties, and pickups. Illustrated with 18 glossy plates of black and white photographs. 305 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket (a new copy.) ISBN: 0-374-139806
