Synopsis

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
