Here are some of the lesser known composers, poets and authors who have inspired me over the years.
It will be noted that I am covering mostly women but this is only because they have in the past been discounted by a mainly male critical audience. My primary purpose is to provide access to as much of Letitia Landon's poetry as I can find, since this fell foul of Victorian morality and its depth and value need to be brought back into the people's consciousness.
In addition, I will be showcasing some of my own work. Not in the same league, of course, but neverthless peculiar to me.
