Inhaltsangabe

Poetry. "He has had the skill and courage to confront, absorb, and renew our poetic tradition at its most vital."—Harold Bloom

"Few poets could sustain, as Corn does, both the fiery voluptuousness of the abstract oracular passages, and the broken simplicity of the late 20th-century voice, tentative, self-conscious, unheroic."—Wayne Koestenbaum

"Seeing the very fact of mobility and diversity as an epic theme, he brings to it a discerning eye and ear, a marvelous memory for detail, and above all an exhilarating range of sympathy."—Amy Clampitt
