Epigraph

"and I shall never make my LORCAESCAS

            into an opera. I don't write opera."  --Frank O'Hara

This will be my epigraph, I think. I rediscovered this poem today, though of course it was the centerpiece of my O'Hara chapter of the first Lorca book.  The implication is multiple.  That O'Hara has some "lorcaescas," in other words, poems in imitation of Lorca. That these could be set to music. That he himself could do it if he wanted, but he won't. It's not his bailiwick, but it could be.
