Book Synopsis
A master of the lyric, Alfred Corn is also adept at working in forms, and has published several books featuring long poetic sequences, including a book-length narrative poem modeled on Dante's ""Divine Comedy"". This book features the poet/critic's personal, epistolary encounter with Flannery O'Connor.

Trade Review
A distinguished poet himself, Mr. Corn is especially alert to the influence of the past on poets, how poems speak to other poems in a continuing conversation.... He is at his best on the modern American poets Wallace Stevens, John Ashbery, Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, John Hollander, and Hart Crane.... Like the best literary essays, these send one back to the originals. - The New York Times Sunday Book Review
