Praise for Robert Morgan:
Reminiscent of James Dickey- bearing the same naturalistic marks of clear, clean prose and often disturbing imagery... Morgan casts a stark story peopled with real, believable, and honest characters.
— The Baltimore SunGripping storytelling, indelible sense of time and place... Morgan turns the stories of prosaic lives into page-turners.
— The Raleigh News and ObserverMorgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelist of the last century."
— The Boston Book ReviewAny new collection of poems by Robert Morgan is a gift... In the past thirty years I have learned a great deal from this man, who is exemplary as a poet, as a prose writer, and as a human being.
— Ted Kooser, former U.S. Poet LaureateOne of Robert Morgan's chief claims on our attention is the backbone he puts into the backcountry lore that grounds his work, the stately proprieties and meditative gravity he hews out of the hardscrabble folkways of his native Blue Ridge Mountains... His is a fine-grained, self-implicating intelligence that can span the intricacies of both pine resin and pantoums.
