"Warhol-o-rama" is a book of American poetry that examines the life—and robust afterlife—of the artist Andy Warhol (1928–1987). [cite magazine
title = [http://www.cmu.edu/universitypress/ "CMU Press homepage"] (2008), Carnegie Mellon University Press, July 25, 2008.]

A poetic sequence by Peter Oresick, it employs techniques of multiple perspective and Warholian parody and appropriation, often to humorous effect. The sequence draws heavily from source material in the archives of the Andy Warhol Museum as well as a large body of mythology surrounding the pop art icon to render a postmodern serial portrait of Warhol.

The book was published on 6 August 2008, the occasion of Andy Warhol's 80th birthday, by the university press at Carnegie Mellon University, of which Warhol was an alumnus.
