Woke up thinking about this uncollected Jack Gilbert poem

happy 100th birthday to poet Frank O'Hara check out the recording of last night's group reading celebrating O'Hara's birthday eve hosted by @nysnetwork.bsky.social, featuring Ron Padgett, Anne Waldman, Kay Gabriel, Eileen Myles, & more! youtu.be/-PQKQ8IQM8Y

For Frank O'Hara's centenary, a favorite from the Knopf Collected Poems I bought used at David's Books in Ann Arbor. O'Hara won a Major Hopwood Award for his poetry in 1951. 51 years later I received the same honor. Gratifying to know we will always be linked by that distinction.
