Number 732 of 2500 copies. A fitting tribute to poet Frank O’Hara with illustrations by several giants of 20th century art. From the preface by Rene D’Harnocourt:
‘…it was decided that the best way the Museum might honor Frank O’Hara, after his sudden death, would be the publication of a book of his poems decorated by the plastic artists with whom he was associated. This is that book, a homage to the sheer poetry-in all guises and roles-of the man.’
