Praise for Robert Morgan:
"Reads like a fireside chat, a storyteller's story, frozen in time on the printed page."
— Southern LivingRobert Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the epic sweep of history, to the grandeur of the land itself.
— Lee SmithAt their finest, his stripped-down and almost primitive sentences burn with the raw, lonesome pathos of Hank Williams's best songs.
— The New York Times Book ReviewMorgan has contributed so much to the health of southern poetry over the last thirty-five years that the southerness of his work is axiomatic... [His] reputation is made, in no small part, on the strength of his ear, with which he has produced some of the most sonorous poems in the language.
— North Carolina Literary ReviewIf you grew up in the country or feel an affinity for the mountains, Morgan's [work] will bring you home again; if not, here is an authentic tour of the region.
