_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The work is carefully, painstakingly executed and there seems to be no word, no phrase in excess. Each piece seems an integral part of the whole and moves steadily to the tragic conclusion. There is a lot of pain here, something we can relate to.

We were both immensely moved by Trackings, an anatomy of an involved love relationship that moves from heights down to despair.

The very old story, truthfully, poignantly told. These poems manage a remarkably reflective accuracy while keeping their own authority, and one is moved to become compassionate witness. Simply put, Bill Morgan has a lot of heart.
