Publisher Marketing: Readers of Robert Morgan’s literature–the poems, the short stories, the novels, the histories–will be richly rewarded with this collection. Evoking personal memory and regional and national history, which for half a century Morgan has poignantly and enduringly rendered in his books, the fourteen poems and three short stories of The Oratorio That Was Time will inform, delight, and haunt its audience. “Morgan,” notes Helena Mara Viramontes in the foreword, “is without comparison in writing about intergenerational history and geography, where we can uproot ourselves but never quite shake off the soil…. These generous and intimate images and stories can only arise from a writer given over to the qualities of grace and gratitude, one who holds an equitable vision of the world. That and a profound belief in love.”
