Romulus Linney

Uniquely adept at capturing the idiomatic poetry of his native South, Linney maneuvers with equal grace through the vernacular of New York's contemporary intelligentsia and the voices of a wide range of historical figures. «…one of our most perceptive chroniclers of the folkways of rural America, finding humanity and nobility in the most remote of places.»–Mel Gussow, The New York Times
