THE SONGS OF ELLEN SCHMIDT
Norma Holzmann Farber (6 August 1909 - 21 March 1984) was an American children's book writer and poet. The Poetry Society of America presents the Norma Farber First Book Award... for a first book of original poetry written by an American.
Ellen Schmidt on mother, Norma Farber's influence on songwriting and music: I think these things came naturally to me because of the life my mother led. She was a natural example. Despite the fact that our writing and music are quite different, the act of doing these things was quite natural.
