More From Robert Morgan
- "The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse."
- "Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry."
- "Our most famous writers are Faulkner and Eudora Welty and Flannery O’Connor. It would make sense that the poetry would reflect some of those same values, some of the same techniques."

- "The urge to write poetry is like having an itch. When the itch becomes annoying enough, you scratch it."― Robert Penn Warren
- "Not what we experience, but how we perceive what we experience, determines our fate."― Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
- "I don’t really approach stories to make them different from other stuff I’ve seen, I just try to get into the character, into his or her head. Try to make it as funny, as scary or as wild as I can so that I really like it."― Sam Raimi
