I used Sutzkever’s poetry for The Seed of Dream.

Lori at age 16, in Carnegie Hall, was the principal flutist for the “American Youth Performs Orchestra.”

I spent the summer of 1973 studying flute and composition at Interlochen Music Camp in Michigan. Girls had to wear a uniform of white shirts and blue knickers. Here I am in my knickers next to my roommate, soprano Lauren Wagner, and her sister Kari Wagner. Enchanted Knickers Music, the name of my publishing company, was inspired by our alluring attire.

I often have trouble finding music paper and pencils — especially at night, when inspiration strikes. I use what I can find, in this case, a Kleenex tissue box.
