The title poem is an extraordinary and quite inevitable extension of the New York tradition of major visionary poems, which goes from Poe’s ‘City in the Sea’ and Whitman's ‘Crossing Brooklyn Ferry’ to Hart Crane's <i>The Bridge</i> and Ashbery's ‘Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror.’ Corn achieves an authority and resonance wholly worthy of his precursors. I know of nothing else of such ambition and realized power in Corn's own generation of American poets. He has had the skill and courage to confront, absorb, and renew our poetic tradition at its most vital. His aesthetic prospects are remarkable, even in this crowded time.” </p><p>Bloom’s characterization of these books as belonging to the tradition of American Romanticism was a stimulus for much of the critical attention, positive or negative, focused on Corn during the following decades. Critics and poet-critics as diverse as Richard Howard, Charles Molesworth, Robert B. Shaw, Joel Conarroe, Jay Parini, John Hollander, Wayne Koestenbaum, David Lehmann, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Amy Clampitt, and Carolyn Forché, have made penetrating observations about his work. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Corn's_work_relative_to_other_literary_"schools""><span id="Corn.27s_work_relative_to_other_literary_.22schools.22"></span>Corn's work relative to other literary "schools"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Alfred_Corn&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Corn's work relative to other literary "schools""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics</i> (Princeton University Press, 1993) grouped Corn with poets who came to be known as the “New Formalists” (see <a href="/wiki/New_Formalism" title="New Formalism">New Formalism</a>) but Corn has never appeared in the anthologies associated with this group. A noticeable percentage of his poetry uses meter, rhyme, and verseform, and he has written a widely circulated introduction to English-language prosody, <i>The Poem’s Heartbeat</i>. The critic Robert K. Martin, in his <i>The Homosexual Tradition in American Poetry</i> (1979, revised 1998) placed Corn's poetry in a line that begins with Whitman and continues through Crane, Merrill, and Thom Gunn to the present; and Corn has appeared in several anthologies of gay poetry such as <i>The World In Us</i> (2000). But he has also appeared in more general anthologies such as <i>The Norton Anthology of Poetry</i> (Fourth and Fifth Edition, 1996 and 2005) and <i>The Making Of a Poem</i> (<a href="/wiki/Mark_Strand" title="Mark Strand">Mark Strand</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eavan_Boland" title="Eavan Boland">Eavan Boland</a>, 2000). Unusual for a poet, he has published two novels, the first, <i>Part of His Story</i> (favorably reviewed by critic A.O. Scott in <i>The Nation</i>) in 1997. His second, title <i>Miranda's Book</i> was published in the U.K. by Eyewear in 2014, and several short stories have appeared in magazines and anthologies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
