Professor Eric Lindstrom, from the University of Vermont, stakes a claim for overlooked Cockney inspiration on poet Frank O’Hara and traces the role that gestures of deixis play in his friend James Schuyler’s poetry, especially after the tragic early death of O’Hara in 1966.
The talk explores the phenomenology and sociality of what we might call Now, Now-then, and Now and then poetry as minor modes already in Romanticism, which have queer, ongoing, and aesthetically defining trajectories in the New York School.
