Miranda's Book
Fiction. LGBT Studies. In his second novel, Alfred Corn tells the story of Mark Shreve, a well-heeled fiction writer now in his sixties and living in Brooklyn, New York. Shreve has a favourite niece, Marguerite Weise, who is in prison and has asked him to reveal her story to the world disguised as fiction. Shreve's narration is multi- layered, full of suspense, and weaves its threads from New York to the mid-west, Canada and Mexico. The novel also unfolds with a backdrop of the contemporary art world and its politics. Readers may sense an affinity with Doris Lessing and Calvino as they respond to the doubled narratives of both Shreve and author Corn.

Duino Elegies: A New and Complete Translation
A new translation of Rilke’s classic elegies—ten mystical, radiant poems that bring together the beautiful and the sacred. Rainer Maria Rilke’s Duino Elegies are one of the great literary masterpieces of the twentieth century. Begun in 1912 while the poet was a guest at Duino Castle on the Adriatic Sea and completed in a final bout of feverish inspiration in 1922, the ten elegies survey the mysteries of consciousness, whether human or animal, earthly or divine. Poet and translator Alfred Corn brings us closer to Rilke’s meaning than ever before and illuminates the elegies’ celebration of life and love. Also included are a critical introduction exploring the nuances of the translation, several thematically linked lyrics, and two of the “Letters to a Young Poet” to complete the volume.
Tables
Tables is Alfred Corn's eighth poetry collection and the third in Press 53's Silver Concho Poetry Series, edited by Pamela Uschuk and William Pitt Root. Carolyn Forch , of The Lambda Book Report, says, "Corn's formal range is everywhere apparent. He even attempts sapphics in English which closely resemble what might be accomplished in the Greek. But as he understands art to be 'always more than technical virtuosity, ' his poetry never merely displays his considerable poetic skills, but rather becomes a mode of thought, an inquiry into art and passion, the limits of mastery, mortality, divinity, and the possible destiny of the human soul."

Aaron Rose Photographs
"Rose's images - completely original visions of trees and plants; sun, stars, and clouds; shells; the New York skyline - are miracles of light and chemistry. A magician who builds his own cameras and mixes complex developing emulsions incorporating exotic metals, Rose has spent virtually every working day for thirty years taking and printing more than 25,000 photographs, most of them superb prints from negatives that he printed once or twice and then put away forever. This book offers the first-ever presentation of Rose's work, accompanied by an essay by distinguished poet Alfred Corn and a vivid conversation between the two men, in which Rose speaks directly about photography, science, art, and commitment."--BOOK JACKET.
