Praise for Robert Morgan:
Robert Morgan's fiction is "about people who have a deep sense of themselves, who were not created by a huge and complicated society but by a small, simple one in which individual character sprouted slowly and in trial bloomed... wise, eloquent."
— New York Times Book ReviewRobert Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the epic sweep of history, to the grandeur of the land itself.
— Lee SmithGripping 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 enviable clarity that makes personalities, issues and event come alive on the page.
— BookPageRobert Morgan's poems are always exciting for their precise knowledge of country things, and of how things go in the world of natural fact and process. This new collection gives us also some delightful lore from the Southern mountains: we learn of the horse fiddle, and holy cussing, and the intrepid pastor who held off bear or panther with his umbrella.
— Richard Wilbur, former U.S. Poet Laureate
