The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

For me this is a real mixed bag. Some of the poems are absolutely brilliant, some not so much. It's a complete body of work, so it stands to reason that there would be some real clunkers.

This absolute gem from Mayakovsky is making the rounds right now:

Now I am quietly waiting for
the catastrophe of my personality
to seem beautiful again,
and interesting, and modern.

Highlights for me:

To My Dead Father
Animals
To A Poet
Spleen
Meditations in an Emergency
A Hill
