I made a throwaway remark about Kelvin Corcoran not developing
which I now regret. A more accurate feeling about the new book
would be that he seems to be moving away from what I have always
liked in him -- whatever that is. I think I would have to dig
out his books (I think I have them all) and reread them to try
and track down my instinct. One thing I would say is that he is
becoming a smoother performer in his poetry. I just feel that
a rawness has gone. But how many years is it since I read the
previous book? Perhaps he is moving towards the mainstream.
