Stephen Corey is widely recognized in the literary community from his over three decades of work as an editor of the influential Georgia Review.

• Always clear, these poems are written in a range of open and traditional forms, and they cover a range of subjects and ideas that include the political, the personal, the historical, the artistic, and the whimsical.
• The poet's four decades as a literary editor make him acutely aware of the necessity for, and the difficulty of achieving, originality and durability in his own work-and he consistently succeeds with both of these goals.
