MYRA SCHNEIDER – British poet

Allow your mind to open to this moment and your arms

to rise as they lift the palpable blue

(from Lifting the Sky) in the book Lifting the Sky

We can’t haul

the past up like a bucket of water from a well.

(from Sutton Hoo) in the book Lifting the Sky

when you peel a blood orange

and eat the ruby segments

while gazing at himalayas of cloud

(from It’s Possible) in the book The Door to Colour

Reviews about my work

Les Murray, regarding my book ‘The Panic Bird’

“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 has herself arrived, and delivers.”

Jane Holland, regarding my work in Poetry London

“… worth getting hold of if you like your poetry emotionally vulnerable, richly allusive and superbly poised between past and present.”
