Synopsis

From the archipelago of Stockholm to her adopted home-land, Israel, Betsy Ramsay shares her perspective on historical events through poetry that is at once whimsical and epiphanic.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Born in the United States, Betsy Ramsay received her B.A. from Wellesley College, and moved to Sweden with her husband in 1955. There she worked as a freelance journalist and helped found the magazine "Riksdagsbulletinen" (The Parliamentary Bulletin), for which she was managing editor and which carried the torch for biblical values in Swedish law. After moving to Israel in 1987 and becoming a citizen she continued to freelance as a journalist and to write books for children and people of all ages. She also taught English in a local Israeli school for children with learning difficulties. In the first of her two most recent books, "Crystal Fragments," she chronicles her German family ancestry, including the conditions of the Jews in Germany before and after Hitler’s rise to power. Even in his darkest hour, her grandfather, a rabbi and teacher in the German town of Speyer, made a distinction between the German people whom he highly respected and the cruel regime by which they, too, were victimized. Her most recent work, "On Wings of the Wind," is a poignant personal memoir of her years as a college student in the 1950s, where she would meet her future husband at a high society ball. Through their marriage, she found herself hurtled into Europe’s titled aristocracy, a union that would prove well-nigh insurmountable.
