Also a Poet: Frank O'Hara, My Father, and Me by Ada Calhoun (English) Paperback

Description: Also a Poet by Ada Calhoun Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A staggering memoir from New York Times-bestselling author Ada Calhoun tracing her fraught relationship with her father and their shared obsession with a great poet When Ada Calhoun stumbled upon old cassette tapes of interviews her father, celebrated art critic Peter Schjeldahl, had conducted for his never-completed biography of poet Frank OHara, she set out to finish the book her father had started forty years earlier. As a lifelong OHara fan who grew up amid his bohemian cohort in the East Village, Calhoun thought the project would be easy, even fun, but the deeper she dove, the more she had to face not just OHaras past, but also her fathers, and her own. The result is a groundbreaking and kaleidoscopic memoir that weaves compelling literary history with a moving, honest, and tender story of a complicated father-daughter bond. Also a Poet explores what happens when we want to do better than our parents, yet fear what that might cost us; when we seek their approval, yet mistrust it. In reckoning with her unique heritage, as well as providing new insights into the life of one of our most important poets, Calhoun offers a brave and hopeful meditation on parents and children, artistic ambition, and the complexities of what we leave behind. Author Biography Ada Calhoun is the New York Times bestselling author of St. Marks Is Dead, Wedding Toasts Ill Never Give, and Why We Cant Sleep. She has written for the New York Times, the New Republic, and the Washington Post.
