Men With Small Heads

Song Collection

In Men With Small Heads, Laitman sets the poetry of Thomas Lux with humor and skill. These particular poems are found in Lux's New and Selected Poems of Thomas Lux: 1975-1995.

The first audio selection is made possible courtesy of the composer. The audio selection for "Refrigerator, 1957" is made possible through a collaboration between the Hampsong Foundation and SongFest. The performers are Jean Bernard Cerin, baritone, and Andrew Rosenblum, piano, and this performance took place at Pepperdine University at SongFest 2010.
