"Facing West achieves true illuminations of the places and uses of
myth. Corcoran's lines balance impressively between sometimes
cryptic, aphoristic phrases and an orality encountered in song -and
in great poetry. Several poems are almost like screens with a
critical or philosophical text behind them; and the verse emerges
stranger, and stronger, for the incidents in other books it points
us to...The overall edifice in Facing West allows entrances by
prose passages -often, apparently, autobiographical; also
talismanic insertions from other tongues, sometimes acronyms and
street names. Yet, these often fragmentary structures develop as an
experiment in narrative across separate sections, they work as a
book. And in the end, nothing feels out of place." (Paschalis
Nikolaou)
