Her books are set in the Pittsburgh area, where her Southern Italian immigrant family members worked in the steel mills. Her themes include ethnicity, the working class, social change, and magical leaps. Corso has also written poetry books about growing up near a toxic dump that was on the EPA's Superfund List, the city's history of water and air pollution, and the link between cancer and a polluted environment in the workplace. She co-edited an anthology, ''Politics of Water: A Confluence of Women's Voices'' and wrote an introductory personal essay on the subject of industrial pollution.
Corso is co-founder and resident artist of Steppin Stanzas and a member of the Park Slope Windsor Terrace Artists Collective. Formerly a writer-in-residence in Western Connecticut State University’s MFA Program in Creative and Professional Writing, Corso has also been a lecturer in Chatham University's MFA Program in Creative Writing. She splits her time between Pittsburgh and New York City where she is on the faculty of the Languages and Literature Department at Touro College. Provided by Wikipedia
