THE STORY
About the book
In 'A Collection of Recollections: Between Here and There' Jennifer Schneider curates, collects, and shares bits and pieces of story and life.
From “bus delays” to “knees on concrete” to “states of suspension”, the pieces prompt new ways of thinking about both language and lived experiences. Exploring a range of experiences from “rec time” to “things that go bump in the night”, the collection plays with time, form, and fashion in ways both experiential and experimental.
Full of “angles” and “tangles”, the work counters chance and curates curiosity. For anyone who questions, queries, and wonders, this collection will not disappoint.

Read an excerpt
Sheer cotton fabric
soaks tears
of love and loss
dandelions blossom
and bloom
in fields blanketed
in pen ink,
erasure stubs, and cigarette ash
Nights spent crafting
letters turned lectures
in blue and black ink.
I’d often write of wishes
to follow
to redo
to reset
to begin anew.
Then squint as I’d watch
the lined paper
float then fall.
Up. Over. Down.
Dampness meets darkness
as the sun sets
and nothing changes.
My eyes close
and see the world
only as I wish
it to be.
Sleep warms my tired
soul and nourishes
my tired mind. Pre-set
alarms now silenced.
My body bathed
In sweat that smells
of fear, I inhale. Hold
All that is precious
still in my mind
and count. Ready.
Set. Go. Exhale. Sleep.
