Jane Springer (born Lawrenceburg, Tennessee) is an American poet.
[3] She graduated from Florida State University with a PhD in creative writing.
[4][5] She was a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow [6] and her first book, Dear Blackbird, won the 2006 Agha Shahid Ali Prize.
[10] Poet Lynnell Edwards, reviewing her second collection, Murder Ballad, noted, "Springer's long line is fearless in its music, indulging luscious sounds and pounding measures.
Traversing the despair of the rural south, [she] exploits the urgency and dread of every keening murder ballad, showing how that cleaving is both our undoing and our salvation.
