I'm excited to announce that my book "The New York School: Poetry, Art, and Friendship in Midcentury Manhattan" will be published by Knopf in March. It's a group biography of the New York School of Poets, centered on John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch.

@andrewepstein3 @MitchTherieau There's never going to be a better place to put this information, so: I remember being excited to discover, back in the 90s, that there is a Big Chief Chinese Restaurant in Hoboken

@MitchTherieau Have you heard the Sharp Pins album? They're nowhere near in GBV's league songwriting-wise but they recapture the aesthetic of mid-90s Tobin Sprout home recording in a very satisfying way

@sodajerker Happy birthday!

[Andrew Epstein @andrewepstein3]

Happy birthday to the poet James Schuyler, born on this day in 1923. Here's the first poem he ever wrote (!) and a diary entry from his 64th birthday in 1984. “Not everything gets worse.” Happy birthday, Jim. https://t.co/BMkVF3Xf2u
