Reflections gives fresh expression to eternal questions. As the poems weave between the mundane and the abstract, the reader joins with the author in reflecting upon the human condition and though the prognosis may be dire, we are never allowed to lose spirit.

About the Author:
Haim Schneiderwas born in Vienna in 1921, where he also received his basic schooling. In the wake of The Anschlub in 1938 he and his younger brother left Vienna at the eleventh hour. Haim left with the Youth Aliyah to what was then Palestine, and his brother with the Kindertransport to England. Their parents did not survive the Holocaust. Haim served five years in the British Army. He has lived in Jerusalem since 1946, where for over thirty years he worked in an apprentice school for precision mechanics.
As to his literary activities in Haim's own words: Now and then I sit down to write some poems, not out of an irresistible urge to express myself, but out of the pure joy of playing with words and forming word sequences that make sense as well as music."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
