Little is known about Miss Evance, apart from her two volumes of poetry, published in 1808 and 1818, respectively. Somewhere between these publications she married a Mr. Hooper, and it is suggested she had children, and a brother in the navy. Although reviews of her first collection were favourable, her second volume received little attention and, sadly, she dropped out of sight - and was quickly forgotten. This album is a tribute to her beautiful, melancholic poetry. Nion has released several albums: Lost In Love (2007), The Void (2009), Quest (2011) and the poetry cycle Thy Delightful Shade (2013-2014). Although he started out as a ‘pop’ musician, his musical style has developed towards piano-based songs, often inspired by English poetry from the 18th and 19th century. This is the first album of two volumes, based on the 1808 publication by Susan Evance, it contains thirteen sonnets from the book.
