"Having a Coke with you
a Frank O’Hara celebration
for Court Green 8
Wednesday, February 16th, at 5:30 pm
at Hokin Hall
Columbia College
623 South Wabash, Rm. 109
Contributors to the Frank O'Hara dossier include:
Denise Duhamel, David Emanuel, Elanie Equi, Kimiko Hahn,
Jennifer Karmin, Becca Klaver, D.A. Powell, Elizabeth Robinson,
Larry Sawyer, Anne Waldman, and more.
There will be a slide show of New York photographs from the 50s complemented with Frank O’Hara reading his work. A selection of contributors will then take the stage to read their poems. As an added touch, the evening will close with a raffle of Coke key chains, candied cigarettes, and bottles of Coke.
This evening is free and open to the public."
I am among the "and more" as I have a piece called "Army of Ex-Lovers (Chapter Seven)" in this new issue of Court Green. I am thrilled to be on Court Green's pages with these luminaries.
Fun fact: Because Frank O'Hara was conceived out of wedlock, his parents moved away from their families and lied about when he was born. He never knew his actual birthday, a biographer discovered it after he was dead.
