He is resolutely metropolitan, and his metropolis is New York City. There are analogies between his work and that of the painters he championed, Pollock, Kline and de Kooning among them. This is not the whole O'Hara: he may have scribbled poems on serviettes, but others he worked on with intense concentration, creating sequences that are inexhaustibly nuanced, full of surprise, heartbreak and laughter. He is celebrated for his apparently unpremeditated poems, autobiographical and immediate ('any time, any place').

An edition of the "Collected Poems" of Frank O'Hara, who is a leading light of the 'New York School' and one of the most significant poets of the twentieth-century.
