The Blue Valleys: Stories

Robert Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the epic sweep of history, to the grandeur of the land itself.

Morgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelist of the last century."

Morgan 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.
