Barrett Watten on Lytle Shaw's Frank O'Hara:

"The greatest reward of Shaw’s study comes when he shows how O’Hara’s major works function as interpretive constructions of social experience, as in his chapters on the cold-war allegory of O’Hara’s use of Mayakovsky and Pasternak, on Second Avenue as criticism of abstract painting, and on O’Hara’s response to Rauschenberg’s Combines as a postfigurative mix of material and semiotic fabrication."
