About the Book

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.

Review :

In Katherine E. Schneider's Breaking the Fever, we journey with a persona leaving the limits of religion and toxic relationships and finding herself as a "spirit fire," with a heart that "transfigures into cherry blossom flowers." In the end, we come full circle not to the sanctifications that religion or others provide, but to the acceptance and love of the real self. This is a collection filled with honesty and emotion. -Laurel S. Peterson

Poet Katherine E. Schneider will take you from where you are right now to the Holy Lands and back again on a journey of self-discovery. Her voice, which is as honest as it is lyrical, will take you to places of deep hurt and guide you to healing as you move from darkness to light. -Sandy Carlson

Katherine E. Schneider's collection calls to mind Wendell Berry's assertion that "There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places." With poems that beatify, Breaking the Fever is a reclamation. -Nicole Caruso Garcia
