In the poems of Frank O'Hara,the leading poet of the New York School,“leaf(leaves)”is a image that frequently appears,which shows his secret tie with a great predecessor Walt Whitman.Follow-ing the images of“leaf (leaves)”in the two poets'poems,through comparative analysis to see O'Hara's imi-tation and parody of Whitman,it can be found that O'Hara consciously misreads some core concepts in The leaves of Grass such as the concepts of self,democracy,and city and adapts them to his own,which dem-onstrates a strong poet's creative depth and unique time significance.%“叶子”是纽约派扛鼎诗人弗兰克·奥哈拉诗歌中频频出现的意象,彰显着他和前辈诗人惠特曼的隐秘联系。沿着两人诗歌中出现的“叶子”意象,通过比较分析探索奥哈拉对惠特曼的模仿和戏谑,人们可以发现奥哈拉对惠氏《草叶集》中体现的诸多理念如自我、民主、城市等进行了有意识的误读和改写,在传承和变化中凸显出奥哈拉的创作深度和独特时代意义。
