Wanda Barford was born in Milan. In 1939 her family emigrated to Southern Rhodesia to escape anti-Jewish persecution. She later studied music at the Royal Academy of Music, London, and married an Englishman. Flambard Press (1990 - 2012) published five full collections of Wanda's poems and in 2017 D&W published her sixth, SHALL HAVE TO STOP NOW, which is based on imaginative letter-poems, as a pamphlet.

Wanda Barford writes:
"I was delighted and intrigued to discover that in seventeenth-century Italy, a poet called Gaspara Stampa had written many letter-poems, mostly in sonnet form." The charming poems in this collection reflect Wanda Barford's early cosmopolitan life in Milan. Paris and South Africa, and her life-long interest in music.
