LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED!


In the New York Times the other day there was an excerpt from a Frank O'Hara poem about Lana Turner. That's the way they rock at the New York Times. If it's not an article about Messiaen it's an excerpt from a Frank O'Hara poem about Lana Turner. I liked the excerpt so much I was going to excerpt the excerpt for you. But I can't do paragraph breaks, you know, and it just didn't look good enough with those slashy things (I think they're called slashes) between the lines: ///. That never looks right. So today I went to the trouble of finding the whole poem on the "internet" so I might present it to you here like so ("click").
