Forever Music is a thought-provoking reverie written from the perspective of a child who is discovering the world through music. A mosaic of dreamy recollections, a glimpse into paradise gained of early childhood, this collection of short poems envelopes the reader with its hidden magic. Concerned with all that is sempiternal - music, memories, dreams,
Auerbach's writing is fraught with vulnerable openness, throbbing with the pulse of its time. Ferociously tender, these reveries leave you thirsty for more of their fresh intelligence and intuitive grace. Auerbach's language has effortless virtuosity in its illusory simplicity, always remaining at the very core of experience.
Lera Auerbach has developed a fine-tuned voice that captures and distills dreamlike recollections into memory snapshots on the crossroads of poetry and music. Inspired in part by the Japanese form of Zuihitsu (running brush), this book is an invaluable addition to anyone interested in language, memory, intuition, creativity, and child's psychology.

In her work, the intimate opens into the vast, and personal experience becomes inseparable from the deeper continuities of culture and consciousness.
