In April Springer was  selected as the 2011 winner of the Beatrice Hawley Award for "Murder Ballad."  Her first book, Dear Blackbird, won the Agha Shaid Ali Prize. Her other awards include an AWP Intro Prize, the Robert Penn Warren Prize for Poetry, an NEA grant, and a Whiting Award. Springer's poems have appeared in or are forthcoming from such publications as Fugue, The Oxford American and The Southern Review.
