Praise for Robert Morgan:
Robert Morgan has long been one of this country's finest poets. Now he shows that his hand is just as steady in fiction.
— James WelshAt 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 ReviewIn Morgan's hands... details become the stuff of stern, gripping drama.
— The New York Times[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 LaureateFeatured works:
