Abstract
Frank O’Hara is an outstanding representative among the New York School poets in America. In his short life, he devoted himself to studying the theories of European and American poetics, applied them, innovatively, to his own poetry writing, and accomplished extraordinary successes in transforming contemporary poetic artistry. As we delve into O’Hara’s poetry, it is not difficult for us to see not only the pivotal influences from the theories of urban poetics as O’Hara’s poetry transitioned through the phases of experiment and creativity but also their instrumental role in his ultimate achievement in poetry writing. By and large, three sources laid down the theoretical basis of O’Hara’s poetics: Modernism, Surrealism, and Personism.
