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 enviable clarity that makes personalities, issues and event come alive on the page.
— BookPage. . .
Morgan remains one of our keenest poets of lucidity and attention and makes sacred the peripheral, the often unsung. He stares deeply into that which we rarely consider, as all good poets do.
— William Wright, Oxford American. . .
