Breaking the Fever: Poems by Katherine E. Schneider

Breaking the Fever is poet Katherine E. Schneider's most powerful work yet. This collection of poetry explores religious deconstruction, injustice, abuse, and heartbreak as much as it celebrates the bold, independent, and wise resurrected self. From "ragged rented rooms" and the empty new apartment in Trump's America, to Bethlehem and night views of villages in Palestine--from the fractured hopes, beliefs, and relationships that will never be the same--Schneider writes lyrically with pain and empathy. She feels with the hurts and memories of beloved others as she reveals her own--"I too have scars and stories never told." The crucibles she evokes are catalysts of transformations that challenge as much they heal.Read these poems and break the fever.
