From the author of Stories for When the Wolves Arrive and Out of Love in Spring, comes a unique “choose a pathway” poetry collection. Flip through the pages in a guided sequence by the author and follow alternate pathways to the conclusion. Whether it’s your first venture into the Glass Labyrinth, or fourth, Spencer’s ephemeral poetry and storytelling contain many surprises and sublime charm. A rising poet not to be missed.

“To read Glass Labyrinth is to enter the surreal world of dreams and memory. Its warp and weft might not serve as a carpet except perhaps, of the flying sort, but would serve well as fiber art for your dysfunctional family room. Falling into this rabbit hole reveals a world of fireflies, ants, snails, and bathing in a bathtub full of dandelions. At the bottom is the landing place of rocks and soil and rot where tomatoes and orchids grow fitfully while lightning bugs flash on and off. It also contains perhaps the best definition of a poem ever written. It's a fun romp to read it straight through. I urge you to take every alternate path to experience the richness of this adventure tale disguised as a book of poetry”

—Emily Moon, author of It’s Just You and Me, Miss Moon
