"'Love is metaphysical gravity', Buckminster Fuller wrote in his scientific revision of 'The Lord’s Prayer.' From beloved poet Frank O’Hara (March 27, 1926–July 25, 1966) comes a very different and very wonderful cross-pollination of love, metaphysics, and the art of verse. In this short, damaged, yet infinitely delightful reading recorded at the Lockwood Memorial Library at SUNY-Buffalo on September 25, 1964, two years before his death, O’Hara reads his 'Metaphysical Poem,' found in the altogether spectacular volume Selected Poems (public library)."
