Paul Schimmel is a psychoanalyst, now retired. He has previously published five books: two psychoanalytic, a fishing miscellany, and two of poetry. Of his first, Reading the Water, Siobhan Harvey, editor of Takahe Magazine [New Zealand] at the time, wrote the following review: "Tight, lyrical, linguistically muscular, the poems he sent me grabbed the attention. Now, his first collection, Reading the Water, has just appeared, and I'm delighted to see it's a stunning, well-crafted book. Reading the Water is a richly woven collection which capably showcases Schimmel's love of language, symbolism and poetic craft."
