Brian Glavey joins Close Readings to talk about one of the great love poems of the twentieth century, Frank O'Hara's "Having a Coke with You." Check out Brian's recent article on the poem in PMLA and his first book, The Wallflower Avant-Garde (Oxford UP, 2016). Follow Brian on Twitter here. 

You can watch and listen to O'Hara read the poem here and find the full episode of the television series from which that clip was excerpted, Richard O. Moore's USA: Poetry, on the PennSound website.

Finally please rate and subscribe to the podcast if you like what you hear, and sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date on our plans.

Not the first proper episode of the podcast but just me, talking for a few minutes about what I hope the podcast will become. The room a poem makes.
