Trawling the internet doesn’t reveal as much as you’d expect about poet John Kinsella. As a Neo Luddite - a term he coined – he’s probably quite happy about that.
Not finding much on the internet doesn’t mean there’s not much to be said – quite the contrary, but the bulk of the speaking is done prolifically through his writing (more than 30 volumes so far) and in the blog he shares with his wife of 22 years, Tracy Ryan, called Mutually Said: Poets Vegan Anarchist Pacifist.

But also, in this conversation , which is divided into two parts, Kinsella speaks about his earlier life, grappling with drug and alcohol addiction, the turning point and the quest for secular virtue he pursues daily. Sincere thanks to John Kinsella for agreeing to this interview.
