About the Book

Chapters is a selection of Alice Schneider's poetry. Writing poetry has been a life-long passion for Alice, a cherished habit that began at the age of 10 and continues into her 90s. Poetry became her greatest ally in times of stress and emotional upheaval as well as in moments of joy. Poetry was always a private friend; and it wasn't until her early 90s that she decided it was time to share these treasured pages of her life with friends and family and all those who love the richness of verse.
About the Author: Born in 1919 on the north side of Chicago to Jewish immigrant parents with an affinity for the arts, Alice grew up with a rich exposure to music, great writing, and theater; her family hosted one of the first community theaters in Chicago on the third floor of their home - offering Alice ample opportunity for the discovery of self-expression. She lived for over half a century in Hyde Park, a neighbor of the University of Chicago - and took part in civic-minded activities which included presidency of the local PTA and many forms of grass roots social activism. After her daughter left home, Alice dove headfirst into the academic world. With little formal training in Asian history, she began working in the Anthropology Department of the Field Museum - and completed a 15-year labor of love, organizing their unparalleled collection of Chinese stone rubbings; this project culminated in 1981 in the over 700-page publication of the most scholarly work ever produced by that institution: Catalogue of Chinese Rubbings from Field Museum. In her late 70s Alice left Chicago for the more welcoming climate of Northern California and to be close to her family.
