Unexplained Fevers

Unexplained Fevers is a book of poetry that was written by Jeannine Hall Gailey and published by New Binary Press in 2013. This collection, Gailey's third, deals again with issues that affect contemporary women, such as body image, illness, and how to deal with the limiting social norms and expectations of women. Familiar Grimms fairy tale characters make repeated appearances in this collection, including The Snow Queen, Rapunzel, Red Riding Hood, Snow White and Rose Red. Although the characters are classic, the point of view and tone of this book is both modern and universal. The poem "She Had Unexplained Fevers" from the collection was featured on Verse Daily.
