"Regional poetry at its best, where the strongly articulated local
voice 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 Schooner
