Reviews

"Kirby Olson's study of Gregory Corso will assuredly generate renewed interest in one of modern America's neglected poets. He discovers the depths and intricacies of Corso's work by examining the religious and philosophical underpinnings of his poetry."-Michael Skau, author of "A Clown in a Grave": Complexities and Tensions in the Works of Gregory Corso
