  • What Harthes says of Twombly's 'signs and traces', that they stimulate him to try to 'place' himself 'into the stride of the hand' is true of Frank O'hara's poems, which demand an interaction from the reader/viewer which absorbs and impicates them in the gaze of the writer. This paper addresses the problem of presenting what is only available as a written document on a par with the process available to the viewer in the paintings of Cy Twombly. I see the walking of Frank O'Hara around New York as the poem as much as the written or typed marks conventional to the poem as genre. Tha is to understand presence, performance and action as available as much in gaze, directed towards the written mark, as in physical activity or proximity.
