These poems are exposed, rich with affirmation, and always genuine." - Bruce Weigl in Choice "Morgan writes of the natural beauties of his earth, Alaska. The land and its creatures are changed by human reason and a philosophy that brings comfort. What a beautiful human endeavor Morgan's life is, expanding our vision with colorful masterful work. Poetry that is of service." - Grace Cavalieri in The Washington Independent Review of Books "John Morgan, one of our finest poets, draws on incandescent creation-laden words to reveal the 'authentic wilderness' that flourishes within us and, yes, without us." - Michael Waters, editor of Contemporary American Poetry
