Praise for Robert Morgan:
Morgan writes with an enviable clarity that makes personalities, issues and event come alive on the page.
— BookPageMorgan 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.
