He has just returned from Prague where he read his work at PEN International

Regarding Unpious Pilgrim Michael Graves wrote , "Its movement from a lighthearted satire of Language Poetry and the School of Ashbery to a passionate concern for sexual honesty and political and social justice and freedom entails the exposure and ridicule of hypocrisy and is memorable." Spencer has two previous books: Screw the Muses and The Obscene Richness Of Our Times. He is the director of two cable shows, one about poetry and the other about multimedia artists. He is the founding editor of faroutfurthertoutoutofsight, an Internet and hard copy multimedia literary magazine. He is also a painter, sculptor and videographer.
