Review written by Anne Maren-Hogan
Robert Morgan's newest book of poems "Terroir" lives up to it's name, loosely translated as "a sense of place," which is embodied in certain characteristic qualities, the sum of the effects that the local environment has had on the production of the product. He takes us on a long hike in these southern Appalachians in his poems drawing on science and folklore, Native American history and music. Walking with him through this book leaves one only wanting to go out again to find a path from your place and now with eyes open walk with wonder in the local and familiar, the sacred in the everyday.
