Frank O'Hara was a pioneering modern American poet and playwright - an art critic, a musician, and a curator at the Museum of Modern Artwork - who defined NEW YORK in its post-WWII heyday. For many these poems defined the city's midcentury zeitgeist. Lawrence Ferlinghetti, in remarks on the 50th wedding anniversary model, said that the poems "established a certain shade, a certain turn of phrase, a certain urbane wit, simultaneously gay and straight, that came to recognize the brand new York institution of poets in the 1960s and '70s". O'Hara's wit and cool encouraged the originator of AMC's strike tv set show Mad Men ages later - and copy writer Matthew Weiner performs the poet's work with elegance and reverence, adding his own unique spin on the classic material.
