Alex Betzler
Alex Betzler was born in 1868 in the small town of Vlarztoskygrad in Northwestern Siberia. Little is known about her childhood, and her early writing was largely unappreciated until she moved to Moscow in 1887 and published collection of short stories dedicated to her aunt Sid. Betzler?s carefully-crafted allegories and ties to revolutionary leaders soon earned her the suspicion of the Czarist police. Fed up with their ever-increasing censorship of her work, Betzler escaped to a remote region of the Serengeti in 1904, where it is said that she lived in communion with nature for four months, surviving mostly off of stockpiles of Orange Easter Salad. After finding passage to the United States, Betzler settled in Manhattan and published several well-received volumes of pastoral poetry.
