Unfolding the Field

July 26, 2016

 

Michael Spring’s fourth book of poetry.  According to Jared Smith, “Michael Spring’s poems are deeply centered within something greater than himself; something that through a nonlinear awareness of, he can become part of—an entering into that which is wild, blue, and indistinct in its outlines. Michael Spring is of the alchemists.”

 

According to Absinthe Poetry Review, “Michael Spring is a poet with a rich inner life. Whoever he is in this world, he is also someone who works with the transformative energies of the imagination. His poetry is totemic, introspective, and written with a soulful music that comes predominantly from the natural world. His work invites us to look further than knowledge can reach.”
