A WIND HAS BLOWN THE RAIN AWAY:
All Things Considered, NPR: "A striking collaboration: the playful poetry of e.e. cummings set to music by New York composer Ellen Mandel and sung beautifully by Cincinnati tenor and actor Todd Almond. I wish I could give it to every poetry lover I know." *********************************************************************************************************
NY TIMES, Margo Jefferson: "Her settings of poems by E. E. Cummings are ardent and spiky, refreshingly organic."
