Published in 1999 by Gnomon Press
In The Balm of Gilead Tree, acclaimed author and poet Robert Morgan presents a masterful collection of seventeen short stories-ten new and seven selected from earlier volumes-that illuminate the lives of working-class people in the American South, particularly in the Appalachian region. With lyrical precision and deep empathy, Morgan explores themes of hardship, resilience, and transformation across generations.
From the haunting historical imagination of "The Tracks of Chief de Soto" to the visceral immediacy of "The Ratchet," where a truck driver faces a terrifying descent with failed brakes, Morgan's stories are rich in sensory detail and emotional depth. Characters grapple with environmental peril, economic uncertainty, and the quiet dramas of rural life, all rendered with Morgan's signature clarity and reverence for the natural world.
This collection affirms Morgan's place as a vital voice in Southern literature, offering readers both the balm of storytelling and the grit of lived experience.
