<\/a>\u201cThis is a ship steered by Werner Herzog and captained by Klaus Kinski.\u201d Fred Johnston on A Curious Shipwreck (Tears in the Fence)<\/p>\n

\u201cThese poems use techniques of cut-up and collage to build seemingly coherent texts that unnerve the reader by sudden shifts and unexpected diversions\u2026\u201d
\n{\u201cSpence\u2019s} texts are witty and racy, but there\u2019s an undercurrent of seriousness, even menace at times, with the natural world and the weather being a motif throughout\u2026\u201d Alan Baker, Litter magazine, on Listening In.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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)\u2026.\u201d
\nMike Ferguson on Eat Here, Get Gas & Worms.<\/p>\n

\u201cI come somewhat biased with my obsessions with the iniquities of \u2018the spectacle\u2019, but I think this is a truly remarkable reclamation of something significant picked from the fields of broken discourse and rehabilitated.\u201d Phil Smith on How the Light Changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve Spence has reframed noise pollution for the connoisseur.\u201d Patrick Holden.<\/p>\n
