In
Memory of My Feelings:
Frank O'Hara and American Art
by Russell Ferguson
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
