The Letters Of James Schuyler To Frank O'hara

James Schuyler

This work presents a portrait of friendship. It is a selection of newly released letters from James Schuyler to fellow poet Frank O'Hara. Peter Mark Ford has described the letter of James Schuyler as witty, graceful, sophisticated and gossipy . Particularly poignant and delightful, this new selection of letters to legendary poet Frank O'Hara reconstruct a friendship that lay at the heart of the New York School - a convocation of poets including Kenneth Koch and John Ashbery, with whom Schuyler later wrote a novel. Schuyler’s letters are as textured and poetic as his verse - he saw himself as an observer but frequently attained the status of philosopher, creating a kind of magic from the commonality of everyday life. Tonally perfect and strung through with a shimmering honesty, this collection of pieces is a perfect encapsulation of a friendship, a mind and a life.
