Myra Schneider is a poet who has published several collections including Insisting on Yellow, her new and selected poems, and she teaches at the Poetry School in London. She has also authored children's books and a writing guide as well as editing poetry anthologies.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2000, poet and author Myra Schneider turned to her writing to help her come to terms with the experience. In this thoughtful and readable book, she illustrates how writing helped her through diagnosis, treatment and recovery as well as the change in self-image following her mastectomy.
