Words and drawings …

… Frank O'Hara & ‘the Skies of Italy in New York’ | by Barry Schwabsky | NYR Daily | The New York Review of Books. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

The collaboration between O’Hara and Schifano is fully realized in the eighteen-page-long Words & Drawings, just published in its entirety in a beautifully designed and printed edition by the Archivio Mario Schifano in Rome (unfortunately, in an edition of just 300 numbered copies, plus fifty hors de commerce, which means that it still won’t be as widely seen as it should among admirers of the poet and the artist; though it is a step forward considering that, until now, just four pages had been published in an obscure journal from Palermo.)
