More on Don Draper & Frank O'Hara

Take a look at "Mad Men: Don Draper's meditations" by Brad Frenette, and Liz Barrett's piece from the Examiner (posted July 27), which concludes:

<<
At the end of the episode we see Draper reading "Meditations in an Emergency," walking to a mailbox to send a copy of the book to an unknown person (presumably his forbidden lover) and reciting the words to himself as though he were beginning to decode a secret road map to his own life.

Within minutes of the broadcast, "Meditations in an Emergency" was the top search on Google. Volcanic.

Prediction: All new and used copies of Frank O'Hara's collection of poems will be sold out on Amazon by the middle of the week.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark

from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
