Yesterday was the fiftieth birthday of Frank O’Hara’s Lunch Poemsand I missed it!

In my defense, I was at an all day retreat for work, but still… Lunch Poems! A fantastic, witty little collection of one of the New York School’s greats (second only to Ashberry, I would say, but it’s pretty close and Ashberry has benefited by a significantly longer and still vibrant career).
