Robert Morgan (b. 1944) is one of the most distinguished writers in
southern and Appalachian literature, celebrated for his novels,
poetry, short fiction, and historical and biographical writing,
totaling more than thirty volumes. Morgan's work gives voice to the
traditionally underrepresented people of southern Appalachia, and
his appearances in such popular venues as The Oprah Winfrey Show,
National Public Radio's Morning Edition, and the New York Times
Bestseller List have contributed to his wide readership and
successful dismantling of Hollywood stereotypes that still dog the
region in the nation's larger consciousness. His writing makes a
case for the dignity of work, the beauty and terror of the
landscape, and the essential value of creating a community and
learning to live in the world. The interviews in Conversations with
Robert Morgan provide readers and scholars the first stand-alone
book on Morgan's long and fascinating career as a master of
multiple genres, and make a significant contribution to the
understanding of American, southern, and Appalachian literature and
culture. Collected here are five decades of interviews that cover
such topics as literary influence, the impact of war on family and
community, poetic and narrative craft, the role of environmentalism
in American literature, and the journey from impoverished North
Carolina mountain boy to award-winning Ivy League professor. Morgan
is Kappa Alpha Professor of English at Cornell University, where he
has taught since 1971. Readers will learn about writing across
multiple genres, craft that can be learned and practiced by a
writer, and studying the past for those present truths that create
what Morgan values most in literature, "a community across time.
