  Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
  Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
  Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
  This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.

  The aftermath of the collapse unleashed a wave of anarchy, leaving chaos in its wake. The once orderly streets were now filled with pandemonium and bedlam. People were driven to madness, their minds unhinged by the unrelenting hardships they faced. They resorted to riots and acts of senseless violence for even the smallest scraps of survival, their humanity stripped away by desperation. 
  The redeemer army, led by the aging McKenzie, struggled to maintain some semblance of order amidst the chaos. But as she grew older, her strength waning with each passing day, it became clear that her tenuous grip on power would not last forever. The weight of leadership bore down heavily upon her shoulders, and the lines etched deep into her weathered face told the story of a woman who had seen too much, endured too much. 
  Meanwhile, twelve ruthless gangs had taken control of the vast wastelands, seizing a monopoly on all resources. They ruled with an iron fist, their cruelty knowing no bounds. The people lived in constant fear, never knowing when they might fall victim to the gangs' whims. In the midst of this desolate landscape stood McKenzie's stronghold, a dark tower rising from the sand like a cruel jewel in a desert wasteland - her last remaining bastion of hope in an unforgiving world, her darkspire city.
