Poems from the Sangamon by John Knoepfle
"Regional poetry at its best, where the strongly articulated localvoice slips easily, persuasively, and movingly into the universal."
-- J. R. Willingham, Choice
"Uses the history and prehistory of the Sangamon river valley as
his subject matter; the poems are laconic, earthy, full of sharply observed
details, and are rendered with a flair for common speech." -- Library
Journal
"Knoepfle has long been misunderstood and underestimated among U.S.
poets. . . . poems from the sangamon, his finest single collection
to date, celebrates the Sangamon country around Springfield." --
Charles Guenther, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Captures without nostalgia a time and a people in their essences,
embodying their raw emotions, their dreams, and the bitter realities of
being caught up in the twentieth century." -- Anne C. Bromley, Prairie
