I'm excited to announce that my book "The New York School: Poetry, Art, and Friendship in Midcentury Manhattan" will be published by Knopf in March. It's a group biography of the New York School of Poets, centered on John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch.

On the short list of my favorite Ashbery poems. He must really have been riding some high when he got to those lines about the segments of the orange.
