Poetry

Based on the music of Beethoven, Holst, Vivaldi, Mussorgsky and Saint-Saëns, among others, this poetry represents some of the finest work by A. J. Mittendorf. Sometimes he presents translations, sometimes parodies, but mostly the poetry is all fully original, inspired only by the music A. J. so desperately loves and enjoys. Much of the poetry is sonnets, some is free verse, some of it is song lyrics, but all of it is the outpouring of A. J.'s soul onto the page before him.
