A portal into 1950s New York City, Frank O’Hara’s “Lunch Poems” have the feel of playing hooky: of roaming from museums to Central Park and sneaking into cinemas. Choreographer Mark Morris, poets Terrance Hayes, Robert Pinsky, Todd Colby, and Eileen Myles, and musical duo Rachael and Vilray join host Elisa New to read “Steps,” O’Hara’s ode to NYC art and dance.
Poet Martín Espada worked manufacturing legal pads, and the job is burned into his memory.
Murray Bartlett, Laurie Santos, and more guests join Elisa New to read Wallace Stevens.
Drive through West Texas with Tracy K. Smith, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and host Elisa New.
