Peg and John Knoepfle Class Visit–Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3

Peggy and John Knoepfle visit Professor Deborah Brothers’ Introduction to Poetry course on March 25, 2010, at Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Illinois. The couple has been married more than fifty years, and as they read from published and unpublished works, they also discuss their writing processes and individual writerly visions, and they talk about their relationship—notably, how Peggy’s years of political peace and justice activism have influenced John’s writing. Most of the published poems in this multi-part video come from John Knoepfle’s Prayer Against Famine and Other Irish Poems and Poems from the Sangamon, which can be purchased (along with several other works) at Amazon.com.
