The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara

Frank O'Hara (1926-1966) was an American poet and leading figure of the New York School, known for his spontaneous, urban-inspired "lunch poems" that captured daily life in New York City. His most notable works include Lunch Poems (1964) and Meditations in an Emergency (1957), and his Collected Poems received the National Book Award in 1971 (or 1972 per some sources), cementing his posthumous reputation as a major 20th-century voice in American poetry.
