Poetry by individual poets

Series: Penguin Poets

The first full-length collection in more than a decade from the

award-winning poet and author of the bestselling novel Gap

Creek. Robert Morgan has won acclaim for sonorous poems rooted in his

native Blue Ridge Mountains that feature taut, forceful, often haunting

imagery and carefully chiseled phrases. The poems in Terroir

build on his earlier work but reach out in several new directions,

exploring memory, family narratives, the natural world of trees and

forest animals, and the poetry of work. Readers of Morgan's fiction

will recognize many places, themes, and voices, while fans of his

poetry will see a fresh energy in poems drawing on science and

folklore, Native American history, and music. These elegantly written

poems celebrate everything from the bonds of friendship and community

to the fleeting sparkle of a drop of rain, discovering wonder in the

local and familiar, the sacred in the everyday.
