Between the late 1950s and early 1960s, New York displaced Paris and London as the cultural capital of the world: a fairy-tale city, the setting for thousands of films, a haven for talent, a place of pilgrimage for millions of hopefuls, a hotbed of ideas, budgets, and the most innovative artistic trends. Cinemas, museums, bookstores, exhibition halls, theaters… Everything converged on the fabulous island of Manhattan. And poetry was no exception.
Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Barbara Guest and James Schuyler formed an open school of poetry, without dogmas or manifestos, based on the affinity of characters, and on a taste for play, surprise, unfettered imagination and tireless inventiveness. It can be said that after Frank O'Hara's walks through New York, the elusive mental landscapes of John Ashbery, the sarcasm of Koch, the broken elegance of Barbara Guest and the hallucinations of Schuyler... poetry has never been the same. We present an extensive anthology of poems refractory to solemnity and transcendence, devoted to formal innovation, elegance and humour. Because in the words of Ashbery: "there was nothing left to say, but we had to say it somehow."
