Two local college writing professors, one retired and one not, playfully post on their book-signing invitation “Two Poets Journey to The Holy Land.” You’re invited to this journey where you can get one of John Knoepfle’s books, Shadows and Starlight, and a signature, or Brian Jackson’s newly published, From Delancey West, and a signature. The offer is quite a deal at $20 for both. These two men are perhaps two of the most important Springfield male poets today. The Holy Land Diner will serve refreshments. And … as the invitation concludes, “John will sing in Gaelic. (Brian will not.)” Read a book review of From Delancey West on page 19.
