- 論文の詳細を見る
This essay treats the poem "Why I Am Not a Painter" as illustrative of O'Hara's informal diction and playful use of parody with an underlying serious message. O'Hara was famous in his day not only as a prolific if undervalued poet, but also as a social gadfly among the so-called New York School poets, and painters of the 1950s. The poem discussed here presents in a seemingly whimsical manner the attitude O'Hara took toward his work, which contrasts greatly with the highbrow traditions of modern poetry that preceded him. At the same time, poetry was as integral a part of his daily life as it was of any poet in the history of American letters. He wrote almost daily and with great facility for the nuance of language and with great appreciation for the wonder and hilarity of everyday life.
