'Ave a Ganders - 25-Mar-21
Frank O’Hara was an iconic New York poet whose work was gorgeously camp and deliberately
sounded like a chat on the phone, rather than a poem on a page. Had he not have died aged 40
on Fire Island, when he was hit by a jeep, he would have been 95 years old on 27 March 2021.
Here are a few of his poems (read by O’Hara himself), interspersed with some other sounds
from New York. Happy birthday, Frank!
