Feeling to Feeling

James Schuyler, along with John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Kenneth Koch, and Frank O’Hara, made up the first generation of the “New York School” of poetry. Ron Padgett and Dick Gallup belong to that group’s second generation. Nathan Kernan’s A Day Like Any Other: The Life of James Schuyler traces Schuyler’s life and work. Padgett’s Dick: A Memoir of Dick Gallup, recounts a friendship of seventy-one years.
