When I state myself as the Representative of the Verse—it does not mean—me—but a supposed person.
—Emily Dickinson, letter to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 1862
for example jujubes
[Frank O'Hara] also mentioned a lot of things just because he liked them—for example jujubes. Some of these things had not appeared before in poetry. His poetry contained aspirin tablets, Good Teeth buttons, and water pistols. His poems were full of passion and life; they weren't trivial because small things were called in them by name.
