Frank O'Hara is a true original. Now to the real point of this review. Don't get duped into paying ninety dollars for this recording. Go to 'books on tape', a website division of random house, the publisher of the 'voice of the poet' series, and buy it for twenty. I hope you see this before the amazon henchmen take it down. Happy listening.

I think this series is brilliant. Hearing Frank O'hara read in his own voice is uplifting, but somewhat exclusive. I love his writing, and how this cd shows the time of vocal recording and how it is so much more perfected today. i write and read aloud poetry, prose, and short stories, and unless there is a malfuction in recording equipment my stuff will never sound as timeless as this collection. If you like poetry and don't know Frank O'hara, I think you should check him out. If you don't know what he is talking about sometimes...then...research it. Otherwise just enjoy it. He died at around forty years old so, what you see is what you get..there is no more. Check his books out too. It's worth it.
