Myra Schneider’s 16th poetry collection.

Myra Schneider’s compassion for the natural world and the thrill she gets from immersing herself in nature shine through in this collection. Centred in a homely urban environment, the poet explores the green world with all means available to her. The mysticism of Hildegard of Bingen is enthrallingly recreated, the controlled fury of Artemisia Gentileschi channelled so forcefully it scorches the pages.

John Freeman

A timely collection from one of our most creatively energetic and generous-spirited poets. Myra Schneider engages unflinchingly with the most urgent crisis of our age while attending, with unashamed passion, to all the wonders ‘we’re on the brink of losing’. These exuberant poems are a testament to nature’s ‘determination to survive’ and to the transformative powers of the poet’s imagination.
