As a celebration of our alumni, each month we will highlight a new book written by one of
Oxford's alumni.
Our February 2025 book is "Something of the Springtime"
by John King Spiezio (Brasenose College, 2014).
John King Spiezio is a writer and musician from New York City. After receiving his Bachelor’s in Classics and Oriental Studies from Brasenose College, Oxford, he repaired houseboats on the Isis before returning to America to work on an organic farm practicing regenerative agriculture. Against his better judgement, he later went back to Manhattan, where he lives with his wife and two children.
You can purchase "Something of the Springtime" here.
