ISBN: 0520222431

In Memory of My Feelings: Frank OHara and American Art explores this key period in modern art by presenting artists who were associated with O'Hara and whose seminal works are reflected in his poetry. Featuring over 80 works by twenty-three artists, the book focuses on works closely tied to specific poems by Frank O'Hara, notably Jasper Johnss In Memory of My Feelings--Frank O'Hara and Grace Hartigan's Oranges. Included are direct collaborations between O'Hara and various artists such as Joe Brainard, Norman Bluhm, and Larry Rivers, as well as portraits of the poet by Elaine de Kooning and Alex Katz. Franz Kline, Alice Neel, and Joan Mitchell are some of the other artists highlighted. The book is a timely reexamination of the relationship between art and poetry at this crucial moment in American art. It also offers new insights into the charismatic figure of Frank OHara and his world.

Bernadette Mayer is one of the most original writers of her generation . . . All her work is full of brilliant observation, humorous and sometimes astounding conclusions, and amazing juxtapositions inspired by linguistic associations, patterns of movement, chance, mathematics, whim, and imagination. — Michael Lally, The Washington Post
