Dwight Garner, literary critic for The New York Times, said in a review of the book that "Manning displays not just terrific cunning but terrific aim--he nails his images the way a restless boy, up in a tree with a slingshot, nails anything sentient that wanders into view".

In the fall of 2004 he began teaching in the Indiana University M.F.A. Program.

2010

His fourth collection, The Common Man (Houghton Mifflin, 2010), deals with religion, Kentucky, whiskey, and a donkey, and was praised as a "fine collection" by Jacob Sunderlin in the Sycamore Review.

During his Guggenheim fellowship, he worked on his fifth collection, The Gone and the Going Away.

2018

Manning appeared in KET's 2018 documentary, Robert Penn Warren: A Vision.

Of Warren, he said "Robert Penn Warren had a vision. Not only a creative vision expressed through his fiction and poetry, but a broader vision of our entire country and its complicated history. So for me, there is something remarkable about this man that I find deeply moving, always."
