MIRRORS	MIRRORS is the record of a remarkable journey into the nature of reality and truth. Centered around a group of poems written in Melanesian pidgin (Tok Pisin) by the Australian aborigine poet Eldred Van-Ooy in the early 1900’s, they were seemingly lost for all time until a friend of the author discovered them in Brisbane.
SOULSPEAK: The Outward Journey of the Soul	SOULSPEAK: The Outward Journey of the Soul is a Book/CD combination in which the poet introduces SOULSPEAK as a human art form that is already within us, waiting to be re-awakened. Bernie Siegel MD, author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and Prescriptions For Living says, “SOULSPEAK offers us all an opportunity to know ourselves better and experience life in a more meaningful way.”
ALICE HICKEY: Between Worlds	WINNER, RINGLING TOWERS AWARD FOR LITERARY ARTS ALICE HICKEY is a totally unpredictable story about the roots of human consciousness, the psychic roots of poetry, the early Mother Goddess period, and our constantly evolving consciousness. "There are very few books that allow us to really feel what encounters with the psychic world are like. Castaneda comes to mind immediately, of course, and that is his enduring gift to us. Now here is a book that has that same power, but it is not set in the austere Sonora desert, but the nutty, everyday world of contemporary Florida. This is a book you won’t want to put down. It is visionary in its scope and devilish in its pace.”
TALKIES	TALKIES is striking in its seamless marriage of common and uncommon speech, something the poet feels is the mark of a great oral poetry. And although this is a written poetry, it comes close to the clarity of oral poetry in that its seemingly ordinary, gossipy speech always hints at something deeper just beneath the surface.
POLAROID POEMS	WINNER, WHITE EAGLE COFFEE STORE PRESS POETRY CHAPBOOK CONTEST. Contest judge David Craig writes, “Spring is hard after meaning…His needs …are as real as the spliced narrative he finds himself in, as real as the goodness of that mystery… I enjoyed the ride”.
OTHER DANCERS	WINNER, MARCH STREET PRESS POETRY CHAPBOOK CONTEST. Publisher Robert Bixby says of OTHER DANCERS: “You will be impressed by the humanity of this work and these poems that lure you in and surround you with people you have known all your life, but whom you have never seen in this light before. Spring’s poetry is exemplary in its clarity and powerful in its implications.”
SOULPRINTS	SOULPRINTS is a fascinating example of copier art that presses the limits. The poet compares these visual poems to “little Shrouds of Turin” in their eerie ability to illuminate what we normally consider the hidden part of ourselves.
NURSERY RAPS	NURSERY RAPS is a prize-winning homage to the Great Mother Goose that erupted when some very peculiar drawings of the nursery characters were given to the poet by a local artist. The poet says, “It was as if I were standing in the middle of Mott Street in New York City looking up at the sky when something fell into the palms of my hands that looked like white squares of nougat, the kind with all the little colored jelly pieces stuck in them.”
