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. . .
Robert Morgan should be declared a national treasure.
— The Charlotte Observer. . .
If 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.
— Sandlapper. . .
