She was a National Endowment for the Arts Fellow [6] and her first book, Dear Blackbird, won the 2006 Agha Shahid Ali Prize. [7] Her work appeared in AGNI, [8] Sycamore Review, [9] and Poetry. [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.
