The death of Frank O'Hara

This is probably the first time (and will probably be the last, too) that I'll link to a Vanity Fair article on Polyolbion, but this is well worth a read.

Frank O'Hara's influence on English language poetry on both sides of the Atlantic over the last half-century can't be underestimated, but I'd never really read anything much about the circumstances of his tragic death before. It's all here, and Ken Ruzicka's dignity in dealing with such awful events is only to be admired.
