The Gay New Yorker: The Morphing Sexuality
The Gay New Yorker: The Morphing Sexuality
This chapter introduces the concept of a non-essentialist gay identity and a ‘morphing’ sexuality. It suggests that Frank O'Hara is a non-essentialist gay poet whose work presents a ‘morphing’ sexuality, in which one type of sexuality continuously turns into another, producing an ongoing reworking, fundamental to the hyperscape, of the ontological categories masculine/feminine, friendship/sexuality, sex/gender, and homosexual/heterosexual.
Keywords: Frank O'Hara, New York, gay identity, gay poets, poetry, hyperscape
