Just wanted to try an idea from another blogger – I have turned to page 123, read first 5 lines, and am now quoting the next 3 lines of the poem, "Invincibility."
"and vouchsafing a plume and a volume of Plato,
purblind water, the earth pitting its stench against the moon's
and accomplishing a serenade, a terrestrial touchdown sigh"
my favorite Frank O site: Imagine– the Special Collections Research Center at Syracuse University Library offers an incredible look at the era of The New York School of Painters and Poets.
Very interesting to see what you are reading. I have only vaguely heard of him, but it seems there was a whole school of New York poets.
ReplyDeleteyes, bev, a whole school... and very interesting time period in American art, poetry, and literature.
ReplyDeleteI collect Frank O books, have some first ed.s and the limited ed. folio which contains loose pages in a box - each poem illustrated by a popular artist of The New York School movement. Thanks for commenting!
