Poetry. ROBIN HOOD IN THE DARK AGES is the first collection by this young British poet, whose poems of witty intelligence have a sharpness, and yet an allusive quality, which have impressed readers of the half-dozen or so British "alternative" magazines where his work has so far appeared. Of Corcoran's first substantial magazine publication in Rock Drill, Robert Sheppard wrote that each of his poems "moves with a speed that allows the poem to 'accurately accompany'—not describe or philosophize about—the process of things in the world.. Just as there is no human/nonhuman dichotomy in these poems then there is no mind/body split: 'mind becomes actual.'" Preface by Tom Raworth.
