PRAISE FOR SPILLING THE MOON

"Schumacher's poems are big-hearted, humane, filled with mad - mad love for this life and an abundance of wite... In Spilling the Moon for every blast beyond gravity's archetectonics there's a counter-balancing measure, but '[we]...fall like rain gently back into our footsteps.'."
-- Robert Grunst, author of The Smallest Bird in North America 

"The imagination's redemptive powers cartwheel and cavort in Matt Schumacher's Spilling the Moon, a phantasmagoria of breathtaking verbal ingenuity... These poems rend the daily extraordinary and the impossible vividly plausible."
--Aaron Anstett, author of Each Place the Body's 

"These poems are travelers abolishing distances at every turn. The journey from mirage to mountaintip, from haunting to home-place, and from crime to new creation--all suddenly effortless now thanks to the gracious turns of Spilling the Moon."
--Donald Revell, author of A Thief of Strings
