So I'm going to start with a poem called An Undelivered Class Presentation on the Subject of Gay Consciousness.
We splashed around in such great manly joy that the night should have melted when we did together.
So what do you all want?
Charts?
I will kiss you and breathe the real gay consciousness into your open mouths.
And that will be my project for the semester.
Take notes all over.
You're not afraid to be beautiful bodies with hands that tremble and eyes that are fuller of wonder than the world.
He also has a poem about being a young Republican and makes fun of it.
Yeah.
there's a, there's like a little wave of short poems that runs through the collected.
They're terrific.
Like he can, he can do the short poem.
I think it's so hard to do.
And it's just like, it's also the New York style.
So they're able to sort of like dash something off.
But when I read him, I feel, I mean, obviously there are a lot of poets who are,
the descendant of frank o'hara but he really feels to me like just such a direct descendant especially when you're holding o'hara's collected which was just reissued with a new alice neal cover which i had the same content but i had to get it for the alice neal cover you are too funny i had to it's beautiful and then you look at his collect like you hold them in your hands you know it's like two beautiful dicks you're holding at the same time
So but then we decided that, you know, first we thought, OK, we're going to just read short poems.
But then we're like, it feels like a disservice to like not read to just like significant poems.
