Synopsis

Myra Schneider's new collection opens with a sequence inspired by one of Barbara Hepworth's sculptures and explores the idea of core from different angles. This theme recurs throughout as Schneider tries to capture the sense of what a bird is, searches out what lies at the heart of memories, fraught contemporary situations, ancient places and dream visions. The same need to investigate underlies poems about women's experience. These include a narrative, 'Hotel', and a monologue, 'Eurydice's Version', which reinterpets the Orpheus myth.

Media Reviews
'An important poet: compassionate, richly sensuous, and with a tactfully impressive delicacy of technique.' Grevel Lindop 'Myra Schneider's poems are typically low key but rich with delays. And often these delays are really arrivals, intricately discovered, alight all over the room. She's not merely promising, she has herself arrived, and delivers.' Les Murray
