Frank O'Hara, Steps
In the mid 1950's Frank O'Hara wrote a book called Lunch Poems. Each day he would step out of his mid-town office, walk his way to the Olivetti typewriter showroom, and bang out a poem about ?the noisy splintered glare of a Manhattan noon.? For the past few years I have worked behind a desk not far from where O'Hara once sat. After I was given O'Hara's book my lunch breaks started to get longer. Sliding out of the revolving door I found myself transformed into a hungry sailor with one hour of liberty from his ship. Some days the sidewalk offered a dramatic or romantic one act play; a pedestrian might fall, a couple might kiss . . . but most of the time I was looking at people who walked towards and away from me. The quiet gestures of strangers in daylight became significant, and the photographs i made became my lunch pictures. written by someone else i need to locate the source

Beautiful typewriters: Corona No. 4 from the 1930s. The girl uses this to type up her plays. Later, Robbie also uses Royal No. 10 with a single glass panel. Also spotted in Captains Courageous.

In the first section of the movie "Atonement" (2007), character Robbie Turner (played by James McAvoy) uses a lever-filler FP to sign a letter. The scene takes place in England in 1935. /Tojusi

My soon to be 13 years old nephew has read this book. I like the cover because it's a drawing of Robert Longo combined with flame. The ability to post pictures search from the Amazon data base is cool....similar to Xanga
