Writing[]
Reviewing her collection, Murder Ballad, poet Lynnell Edwards wrote: "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."[6]

Springer's debut collection, Dear Blackbird, won the Agha Shahid Ali prize for poetry, and her second, Murder Ballad, won the Beatrice Hawley Award. She has also received a Pushcart Prize, a Whiting Writers' Award and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship.[2]
