Praise for Robert Morgan:
There is comfort and humor in Morgan's evocation of country people trying to survive.
— Publishers WeeklyGripping storytelling, indelible sense of time and place... Morgan turns the stories of prosaic lives into page-turners.
— The Raleigh News and ObserverRobert 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 InquirerAny 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 LaureateIt is such a pleasure to rest on the fertile banks of [Morgan's] imagination, engaged by a steady current of haunting images and carefully chiseled phrases, that when the final poems comes, the reader feels as if the power company dammed the Green River without putting it to a vote.
