About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: St. Martin's Press, 1993. This is the first academic study of the New York School of Poets; it provides a critical and historical introduction to this group of writers, including close readings of major works by John Ashbery as well as detailed accounts of Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler; it examines the relationship between American poetry and painting in the Cold War years, and between modern poetry and deconstruction; it concludes with an account of the influence of the New York School on contemporary writers, such as the Language Poets (black cloth with gold lettering, pages very slightly tanned; pictorial dust jacket with photo of Frank O'Hara and other poets on the front, very small scuff mark on side of spine; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy). First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
