Reviews

'Corcoran has long been one of our finest critics of modern and contemporary poetry. His blend of elegance and insight is consistently wonderful. This book contains essential reading on David Jones, Seamus Heaney, Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, W. S. Graham, and many others. The way he enriches the poetry that he discusses is galvanising, and these essays are a hugely welcome shot in the arm.' - Alan Gillis, Professor of Modern Poetry, University of Edinburgh
