"Some days I'm a stronger witness," writes Anne Schneider in 'Jail House Rock,' a poem reinforcing her collection's title, Breath Found Along the Way. Her poems detail the inner workings of intimate relationships from friendship to family to lovers, past and present. In the poems and masks assembled here she does bear witness, sometimes through humor, sometimes through pain, to the way the ordinary becomes something more when viewed through the convex lens of image and language, when the world of the personal and the natural word collide, when memory becomes another kind of mask.
