Chronicle Supposing Books Spring Water

Spring Water is a hard-boiled crime story told in a series of narrative poems. The main character, Joe Smith, is J. Alfred Prufrock if J. Alfred Prufrock was driven to killing. Hints of Dexter Morgan float from between the lines too, but Joe Smith is not a killer who uses syringes and keeps freshly sharpened knives in a fashionable, snappy roll. The poems are all accessible, but each provides a piece of the crucial puzzle of understanding and, yes, empathizing with Joe Smith. This is a powerful, fun, yet disturbing collection of poetry, unusual in its unconventionality as a collection, but genius too in the way it holds a mirror up to the civilization in which Joe Smith lives and works. Each of us can be a Joe Smith; that's what's so brilliantly scary about this book. I've come to call it one of my favorite books of poetry.

EDITORIAL REVIEW"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

Spring Water is a masterfully crafted novel in verse by poet and attorney John M. FitzGerald.It is suspenseful, scary, funny, thoughtful, poetic, visually haunting and moving at the same time.The pages that belong to the diary of the protagonist Joe Smith have a dreamlike quality that stays with you long after you've finished reading the book. On the back cover Robert Nazarene compares it to "The Silence of the Lambs", and I agree. I highly recommend it. I couldn't put it down.
