Saturday Review: “Fearsome Accomplishment”” a review by Randall Wilhelm in NCLR Online Spring 2024 of Robert Morgan: Essays on the Life and Work (2022), edited by Robert M. West and Jesse Graves
Continuing on with the new work about NC Literary Hall of Fame author Robert Morgan, Wilhelm reviews this essay collection, which he says “assembles some of the best writing on Morgan’s work over the years and includes insightful new essays that provide constructive approaches to seeing even deeper into Morgan’s imagined world.” The book is sectioned into four parts and includes essays on Morgan’s poetry, short stories, novels, and biographical elements (with pictures!).
In addition to the editors’ own writing, other authors familiar to NCLR readers are included: Jim Clark, George Hovis, and Rebecca Godwin are but a handful from the dozens in the collection. Wilhelm concludes with, “Coming in the footsteps of Conversations with Robert Morgan (2019), West’s and Graves’s collection offers a range of voices that reveal more insightful gems into the wonders of Morgan’s mountain world.”
