Praise for Robert Morgan:

Gripping storytelling, indelible sense of time and place... Morgan turns the stories of prosaic lives into page-turners.

— The Raleigh News and Observer

. . .

Robert Morgan should be declared a national treasure.

— The Charlotte Observer

. . .

One of Robert Morgan's chief claims on our attention is the backbone he puts into the backcountry lore that grounds his work, the stately proprieties and meditative gravity he hews out of the hardscrabble folkways of his native Blue Ridge Mountains... His is a fine-grained, self-implicating intelligence that can span the intricacies of both pine resin and pantoums.

— Poetry
