Maurice Manning is slowly becoming a favorite of mine, and I think his language reminds me a bit of Berry. Very clear images. Check out his short poem “A Study of Heft” I’ve posted at the end. His book “The Common Man” was a runner up for the Pulitzer, and I think “A Companion For Owls” is nearly as good. Thank you to @blackswanbooks.lex for this copy. Fine condition, hardback, signed. Fine jacket. #mauricemanning #acompanionforowls #thecommonman #rarebooks #firstedition #bookcollection #bookcollecting #bookcollection #bibliophile #bookporn #bookhunting #bookstagram #modernfirsts #modernfirsteditions #finebooks #signedbooks #shelfie #southernliterature #southernlit #tennessee #appalachianlit #appalachianliterature #kentucky #northcarolina #virginia #westvirginia #appalachianpoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CPf_J1WMWrL/?utm_medium=tumblr
