I'm excited to announce that my book "The New York School: Poetry, Art, and Friendship in Midcentury Manhattan" will be published by Knopf in March 2027. It's a group biography of the New York School of Poets, centered on John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch.

A deeply troubled painter. His friend (my grandfather). A legacy of modern art. A sudden theft; it's psychic reverberations. The great art critic Sebastian Smee wrote about my family's story for the Washington Post: www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

The hunt for a stolen Jackson Pollock — and answers to a family’s pain

Decades after a brazen art theft drove Merry White’s father to despair, federal agents closed in on one last missing work. For White, the search is personal.

Last year for The Chronicle I wrote about the long history of the first of these, which has been with us since the 1940s

The two narratives about colleges right now are: 1.) College professors are so charismatic and convincing that students are completely hypnotized into doing whatever they want. 2.) Students are writing all their papers with AI because they don’t give a shit outside of a degree.

My latest for @newrepublic.com: I went back to Ernest Becker’s Pulitzer-Prize winning 1974 book “The Denial of Death” to see if it had insights in an age of AI, nightmare tech bros, and the return of Trump in the wake of Covid-19. Turns out it does, though not in the way Becker quite foresaw:

The One Percent’s Fear of Death Is Wreaking Havoc on the World

Ernest Becker’s The Denial of Death posited that we act out in antisocial ways—and even embrace authoritarians—because we cannot face our own unavoidable demise.
