In the Margins of the World, Plain View Press
Awarded the 2002 Oregon Book Award for Poetry.

In this volume, Willa Schneberg traverses our worldly margins, from the Middle East to the American heartland, from the Jewish community in Brooklyn,  to Israel, the Far East, Egypt and the West Bank.

In these finely wrought, surprising poems, Willa Schneberg seeks connections: between man and woman, woman and woman, Jew and Arab, father and daughter. Beyond these she inquires about the connections that fail, and more significantly, the ones that survive, between the past and today, between culture and history, between the family and its inevitable loss. A far-reaching and moving book.     -  Ehud Havazelet

In an unwavering search for the meaning of contemporary womanhood, Willa Schneberg compresses 5000 years of Jewish history into vivid intricate portraits. Whether writing about middle eastern women restricted by their cultural milieu or relating minute details about her family, these poems act as gentle wake-up calls.        - Rochelle Ratner

BOX POEMS, Alice James Books

She will speak for us, hear us, know our secret trouble, our intimate imagery and behavior. She has the life-strength, curiosity, perception, language. To read her is to learn that we survive by caring for strangers. Willa Schneberg is a poet with healing power. I read her with gratitude.     - Milton Kessler
