Poems of Sylvia Plath
Adelaide Whitaker has been a major force in my development as a
composer. To date, she has commissioned Between the Bliss and Me,
Sunflowers, One or Two Things, Men with Small Heads, Round and Round,
and Long Pond Revisited. Dr. Whitaker continues to introduce me to
wonderful poetry, especially the works of American women, and she is a
tireless promoter of new vocal music. Adelaide has now commissioned me
to set the poems of Sylvia Plath.
