Meditations In An Emergency by Frank O' Hara

What should we do in a time of crisis? Become stoic? Take stock? Flounder in existentialism? In the case of Frank O' Hara, why not all three?In Meditations In An Emergency, the speaker finds themselves in a spiral of self-doubt and melancholy self loathing. All this happening in the wake of a separation from their love.Frank O' Hara creates a stream of consciousness to document the highs and lows of such a moment. It swings from tragic to hilarious in the space of jus a few short syllables and all with his incredible talent for imagery and free association. Its no wonder it became one of the New York poet's greatest works.
