Hey, look at that — Adam Phillips is going to give a lecture about Kenneth Koch (h/t @nysnetwork.bsky.social) www.keble.ox.ac.uk/teaching-res...

Today! 12pm ET / 5pm BST!!

Can’t wait for this!

The forthcoming NYRB edition of Bunny Lang's "The Miraculous Season," edited by NNYSS co-director @rosacampbell.bsky.social, gets a splashy reception in The New Yorker! We're fond of the comparison between poets theater & "embezzlers' Jell-O," but we really love the admiration for Lang's poems.

We think @glavey.bsky.social is a wonderful person, don't you? Why don't you have him over for a drink real soon to celebrate his forthcoming book "Relatability: Sharing and Oversharing with the New York School Poets"!

Free Zoom event this Thursday at noon Eastern Time in the US / 5pm in the UK-- Join the @nysnetwork.bsky.social for a conversation about FRANK O'HARA's career as a curator at the Museum of Modern Art with Matthew Holman & John Yau. Register via the Eventbrite link below.

absolutely delighted to see this piece on my Bunny Lang Selected Poems in the @newyorker.com, & perhaps even more delighted with the illustration by Lauren Tamaki of Lang in Frank O’Hara’s grimy tub, as described by Joe LeSueur 🛀

This Thursday, there will be a Zoom talk between Matthew Holman & John Yau about Holman's new book, "Frank O'Hara & MoMA: New York Poet, Global Curator," hosted by the Network for New York School Studies @nysnetwork.bsky.social. See here for details: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/matthew-ho...

Followed a course of lectures by Matthew Holman at the Courtauld recently - if they're anything to go by, this should be some good book!

**FRANK O'HARA BAT SIGNAL**

“I became more obvious to myself, I discovered I was an unabashed location of unreported events of the Spirit…” Alice Notley

I'm glad someone's finally written this. When Frank died he was world-famous as a curator - truly a vital figure in modern art, then people discovered he was a genius on his lunch hour, now here we are. The poems aren't going anywhere. I look forward to this book balancing things out.

Art historian Matthew Holman highlights ten essential works at MoMA, from a collection of 200,000 modern and contemporary pieces. buff.ly/qcLtakX

Order a copy of Holman's book from Bloomsbury & join us next week for an online conversation with him & poet-art critic John Yau www.bloomsbury.com/us/frank-oha...

"Had not all beautiful things become real on Wednesday?" Matthew Holman in conversation with John Yau about the new book "Frank O'Hara & MoMA: New York Poet, Global Curator." Join us via Zoom on Thursday 10/16 @ 12pm ET / 5pm BST. Register via the link below! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/matthew-ho...

I was sorry to hear of the death of the poet Fanny Howe this week. She had a way of saying things very directly that somehow you had never thought of before. For example:

Just learned about a review of "Love, Joe: The Selected Letters of Joe Brainard," that has arguably the best tagline yet - "Any time is horny time." glreview.org/article/any-... @nysnetwork.bsky.social

This is a fabulous interview (Elinor Nauen / David Beaudouin): blog.bestamericanpoetry.com/the_best_ame...

Rare photo of 4 New York School poets together -- John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler at a party in 1955, young, laughing, full of life. For more on the photo: newyorkschoolpoets.wordpress.com/2025/05/09/r...

I talked with Nick Sturm (@nicksturm.bsky.social) about the brilliant Alice Notley, who died just three weeks ago, and her poem “At Night the States.” “making life, not explaining anything” I missed having these conversations. open.spotify.com/episode/6fLF...

The third and final conversation in a series on the late Alice Notley. I talked with my friend, the poet, translator, and scholar Lindsay Turner, about what it means to be a mother and a poet in Notley’s “Waltzing Matilda.” open.spotify.com/episode/3vyW...

Today, a second conversation about the late Alice Notley. The brilliant poet and critic Joyelle McSweeney joined me to talk about grief and life in the underworld in Notley’s extraordinary epic The Descent of Alette. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

A beautiful set of tributes to Alice Notley: zonamotel.substack.com/p/tribute-wh...

“Alice’s main influence was herself…” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/b...

'it’s the day of the dead hello / we love you they say.' Devastated that Alice Notley is gone. Here's to her incredible work.

Cats, football, color, art & the moon on our first full day in Lima yesterday. Yes, I did read aloud to cats. Yes, many people stared at me, but many also were so excited about my book! They asked questions, took photos of the cover, and one interviewed me for his YouTube 😻

Two months until pub date, now with a nice blurb. Let me know if you want a digital review copy. Preorder link below!

Just got to Victoria Miro before their exhibition of Alice Neel portraits (At Home: Alice Neel and the Queer World) closes. This portrait of Frank O'Hara is (deliberately?) less than flattering compared to one she did earlier in the same year -1960. #Painting #Poetry #AliceNeel #FrankO'Hara
