 Jack is comprised of poems that reconsider the method in which the desperate periphery manage the minutiae of existence. Set against the backdrop of a distilled urban landscape, the speakers in Jack find themselves lost in the bars, bottles and back alleys of their narratives. The result is a dark, acerbic, honest, and humourous collection that challenges not only the manner in which its speakers confront the mundane, but the traditions of poetry that have done the same.

Poetry. BOURBON & EVENTIDE confronts the history and mythology of a failed couple, and through a subjective narrator finds humour and heartbreak in the story of the flawed pair. In a collection of tercets—fragments of memory that could stand alone, but together tell a more complete story of a couple's past and failure—Mike Spry blends wit and honesty to bring to life a simple tale of love unrealized. "...A voice that crackles with biting humour and refreshingly straightforward fury... Spry is consistently capable of achieving levels of raw honesty rarely seen in the work of more seasoned poets."—The Montreal Gazette
