In
poems made of muck, time, magic and jazz, Michael Spring’s Mudsong reminds us that nature, ours and the world’s, is at once
organic and mysterious. Spring’s art celebrates by paying attention--by
resolving to slow down, be somewhere in particular and listen and look. With
nods to Pierre Bonnard, Ornette Coleman and Mary Oliver, among others, the
poems in Mudsong sing human with “the music…of the earth.” --

Michael
Spring addresses the connection between human consciousness and "the
serpentine landscape." He is walking side by side with Ovid, Jung, HermesTrismegistus:
Did the Great Fall truly alienate us? Or, as Spring suggests, is there an
ageless link between humanity and "the gospel of mycelium and rock,"
an energy accessible only to those who can "become the ground." This
is a stellar collection,dramatically envisioned, beautifully crafted. --
