Myra Schneider Knihy

The journey of coping with breast cancer unfolds through the lens of Myra Schneider's poetry and prose. Diagnosed in February 2000, she uses writing as a therapeutic tool to navigate the challenges of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Schneider reflects on her evolving self-image after her mastectomy, highlighting the profound impact of creativity on healing and resilience. This insightful exploration reveals the power of words in confronting life's adversities.

Myra Schneider's new collection brings a fresh sense of reality to some well- known images. Colour is the keynote of the book, moving through Matisse, Hockney, Chagall; sound too, in Mahler and Beethoven. Often we find skin-deep assumptions turned around.
