Steve Schroeder's second poetry collection, Revolutionary Patience, will make you slow down, look around, and notice the little miracles of your everyday life. There is deep human warmth in Schroeder's reflections even when the weather in his poems is "too cold to snow." The contemplative mood of the book does not lead to heavy philosophizing -- the author has kept philosophy in his philosophical books. Birds, plants, and seasons are not used as allegories or carriers of special messages, but are allowed to reveal their genuine poetry. The unassuming wit of the book makes one smile when reading it, and smile again later, when remembering a line or an image that sounded not just beautiful, but true.
