This Is an Actual Video of Frank O’Hara

It was filmed the night before he died (he was run over by a dune buggy on Fire Island, which I think he would have found funny, had it happened when he was old and tired instead of young and vibrant and talented beyond measure.)

You should read a Frank O’Hara poem every day of your life, and two on Sundays. You should start with “The Day Lady Died,” about Billie Holiday. Go read it now, and we can talk about it a little.
