Vincent Spina

American poet Vincent Spina was born in Brooklyn, New York, and educated at Fordham, Columbia, and New York University. As a specialist in Andean and Latin American Literature, he has authored El Modo Epico en José María Arguédas, a study of the Peruvian novelist and his cosmology. As a poet, he continues to draw inspiration from César Vallejo and John Ashbery. Spina published three volumes of poetry, Outer Borough, Dialogue, and The Sumptuous Hills of Gulfport, and his poems have been anthologized in Gateway: Gulfport Poets.

 

“In his new volume Sundial, Vincent Spina’s cavernous search for the nature of poetic language and that inchoate single syllable, oftentimes as elusive as the flash of a fin, is well worth the deep dive. His forays into uncharted depths among exotic sea-creatures, from glowing sea-turtles to jewel-bull hunchback whales, are marked by epiphanies so striking that they not only redefine poetry and time in a pandemic but also the meaning of an entire life. Spina’s approach is more about process than outcome, more about the search than the find, and then there are those magical moments where what had been lost is not only found but given an eternal sense.”
