He possesses a flawless ear, a fresh eye for image and detail, penetrating analysis and a storyteller's gift. He can shift registers suddenly, from lyric to formal mode to common speech, and even a snatch of song... Kelvin Corcoran is one of the rare true poets. Reading him is a privilege and a pleasure, a new awareness.\" -David Wevill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Corcoran is a superbly skilled lyricist.\" -Frances Leviston, \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kelvin Corcoran has allied a strikingly individual intelligence to a genuinely musical sensibility.\" -Don Paterson, \u003cem\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 'straight music' of the English lyrical tradition drives these poems that are honed, hard, elegant and economic.

It is 'the ripped voice makes us free'.\" -Rosmarie Waldrop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Corcoran is at the front of contemporary poetry: the lyric grace of his language is threaded with an historical perspective that raises the poetry far beyond the world of a localised present.\" -Ian Brinton, \u003cem\u003eTears in the Fence\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Kelvin Corcoran's recent work inhabits the imagination as a distinct sphere of abundance, drawn from reality as a celebration of the true scope of the mind.
