"Biotherm" is the last long poem of New York School poet Frank O'Hara, whose accidental death in 1966 at age 40 deprived America of one of its most vital and innovative poets. The poet and critic Bill Berkson, to whom the poem is addressed, provided an essay and compiled a glossary to explicate the references in the poem and to recount the circumstances of its writing.
