Abstract:
"In Hyperscapes in the Poetry of Frank O'Hara Hazel Smith creates new conceptual frameworks to articulate O'Hara's achievement and his impressive relevance to contemporary textual and political debates. Drawing on poststructuralist perspectives from postmodern geography to queer theory, Smith argues that O'Hara's poems are dynamic hyperscapes, sites of radical difference. In the hyperscape, body and city, modernist innovation and postmodern appropriation and high art and popular culture continuously morph and interpenetrate." "Smith also historicises O'Hara's hyperscapes in terms of the uptown-downtown milieu in which he lived, gay repression in pre-Stonewall America, the contending worlds of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art and the creative processes of jazz improvisation. The book includes new material from interviews with O'Hara's friends, analysis of manuscripts, and previously unpublished information about his collaborations."--Jacket.
