Blessing

What these poems offer is an obdurate vision of grace, a careful sonding of human circumstance that omits nothing of its dreads but which nonetheless manages to find under just what conditions beauty and redemption are granted.-Sven Birkerts"These poems are possessed of a fine and grave music songs, prayers, narratives, meditations, letters, lyrics-all speak to a world of incessant transformations and perishable identities, a world that is helplessly magical. Once you read her you will not forget her, for the sturdiest poetry is the poetry of courage and Corkery writes such a poetry."-Baron Wormser
