Praise for Robert Morgan:
Morgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelist of the last century."
— The Boston Book ReviewIn Morgan's hands... details become the stuff of stern, gripping drama.
— The New York TimesRobert Morgan's writing is... clear and simple, yet it possesses a luminous poetic quality, a rough beauty hewn from the countyside and from old, forgotten ways.
— The Philadelphia Inquirer[Robert Morgan] is a seasoned author whose prose reads like poetry and whose nonfiction reads like novels... His books teach and inspire. He gives the past, with all its heroes and villains, a new life, if not a new purpose.
— Southern Literary ReviewRobert 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
