“This is a ship steered by Werner Herzog and captained by Klaus Kinski.” Fred Johnston on A Curious Shipwreck (Tears in the Fence)

“These poems use techniques of cut-up and collage to build seemingly coherent texts that unnerve the reader by sudden shifts and unexpected diversions…”
{“Spence’s} texts are witty and racy, but there’s an undercurrent of seriousness, even menace at times, with the natural world and the weather being a motif throughout…” Alan Baker, Litter magazine, on Listening In.

“I think every disruption within any one poem is symptomatic of how reality is impacted and fluid by the nature of things, by the way we experience it, by the way we interpret it, by the way we forget about it (often immediately)….”
Mike Ferguson on Eat Here, Get Gas & Worms.

“I come somewhat biased with my obsessions with the iniquities of ‘the spectacle’, but I think this is a truly remarkable reclamation of something significant picked from the fields of broken discourse and rehabilitated.” Phil Smith on How the Light Changes.

“Steve Spence has reframed noise pollution for the connoisseur.” Patrick Holden.
