What Sparks Poetry:
Readers Write Back
“'Between the Night & Its Music' by A.B. Spellman invokes a deep consideration of the connections between people and music. Whenever I read this poem, I am reminded of all the stages and complexities that are withheld by every piece of music ever created. We are all connected to music. As Tower Records put in an abridged quoting of Nietzsche, ‘no music, no life.’ The poem embodies this statement throughout its reflection of this interwoven cycle, but specifically through my favorite line 'between the voice & the music is the self.'"

Haleh Liza Gafori on the Power of Rumi
"I see the medieval sage and mystic’s verses as a luminous antidote to the bewildering materialism of American life. Looking around at our warring and ecologically devastated world, I hear them as urgent calls to reconsider the ways we treat each other and our world. Always, I hear the beauty, tenderness, exhilaration, and care that suffuse his poetry."
