Produktbeschreibung
Focusing on the poetry and cultural practice of Frank O'Hara, the great urban poet of the New York School during the 1950s and 1960s, this books explores the interwoven relationship between his urban poetics and the urban culture of New York, seeking to shed light on poetic concept and its cultural relevance.

The poetry of Frank O'Hara is deeply rooted in and nourished by his urban experience as a metropolitan and an active participant in the vibrant cultural scene of New York. Therefore, an investigation into the interactive dynamics between his poetry and the urban culture he helped shape serves as a starting point for further study on the literary representation of European and American urban culture. Across eight chapters, the authors look into the genesis, theoretical constitution, the interface with culture and aesthetics of O'Hara's urban poetics and also their philosophical foundations, literary ethics, special expression and representation as well as his reception of modernity and postmodernity.

The title will appeal to scholars, students and general readers interested in American literature, poetry and urban culture, especially Frank O'Hara and the New York School.
