From the Publisher
Spring Water by John M. FitzGerald is a book unlike any other in contemporary poetry: a novel-in-verse about an ordinary man who, quietly and without notice, lives the life of a serial killer. This haunting, and disturbingly plausible, collection establishes FitzGerald as an important new voice in narrative poetry.
From the Back Cover
"John FitzGerald's debut volume, Spring Water, is to poetry what The Silence of the Lambs is to filmdom: a harrowing, narrative trip that makes for an absolutely compelling read...brilliantly delivered by one of America's most promising new poets. We were delighted to introduce this author to the reading public."--Robert Nazarene, Founding Editor, Margie/The American Journal of Poetry
