Praise for Robert Morgan:
At 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 Review. . .
Morgan writes "with an authority usually associated with the great novelist of the last century."
— The Boston Book Review. . .
The poet laureate of Appalachia.
— Kirkus Review. . .
