Book Description
An unprecedented eyewitness account of the New York School, as seen between the lines of O'Hara's poetry Joe 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. (The artists he championed include Jackson Pollock, Joseph Cornell, Grace Hartigan, Jane Freilicher, Joan Mitchell, and Robert Rauschenberg.) The flowering of O'Hara's talent, cut short by a fatal car accident in 1966, produced some of the most exuberant, truly celebratory lyrics of the twentieth century. And it produced America's greatest poet of city life since Whitman. Alternating between O'Hara's poems and LeSueur's memory of the circumstances that inspired them, Digressions on Some Poems by Frank O'Hara 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. This volume, which includes many of O'Hara's best-loved poems, is the most intimate, true-to-life portrait we will ever have of this quintessential American figure and his now legendary times.

Book Description
I remember when W was president and many people were worried about his intellectual ability. This was much later than Reagan and worries about his Alzheimers. I only heard about this because I was too young to really remember much about Reagan while he was in office. But, this is all overshadowed these days with the fragments and short bursts of Trump and the ramblings of Biden. The time is right to present the poetry of Biden. All of these poems are taken straight from the speeches of Biden through out the years. No wording was changed. Only line breaks were added to turn his words into free verse poetry.

Book Description
When he was a boy, Elliot pressed himself up against the plate glass of the noumenal world. He made a face, and when the noumenal world made a face back, he was scared. Ever since then, like some kind of neo-objectivist anchorite running amok, whose daily reprieve depends on the purposeful brick by brick removal in order to see or re-see, he has been fleeing the cloister of this world only to find himself again in this world. In this third full-length collection, he breathes life into the everyday so that we can stop and pick it up and look at it and see that it is, and therefore we are, or might be, whole, too. These poems restore the magic of anonymity to a city bus, a park bench, a tree, a man and his dog, his loop of thought, and in doing so strip away what and who we think we are, laying bare the that-ness that's there, a little to the left and beyond the frame, a that-ness that seems to make a face back at us and we laugh.

Book Description
Thieve is a pointed, political book, though the politics here are local, particular, physically felt. The central sequence of poems--subtitled "Poem against the Crumbling of the Republic"--was written in direct response to the poet's own transition from rural poverty to coastal liberal comfort, as well as the presidential election of 2016, which brought to the national consciousness grave division in American society between urban and rural people. Thieve is a poetic attempt, as someone who knows/has known both worlds, to speak across that chasm. Thieve also interrogates chasms and barriers between the human and the natural, the present and the past, the parent and the child, between what we earn and what by grace is given.
