The Hungers of the World: New & Collected Later Poems

"These poems are strong and full of carefully controlled feeling. They are tender and precise evocations of the moral and sensory life of man." - Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize winner

"Morgan demonstrates that he understands the complexity and the enormous possibilities of the free-verse line. 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
