New articles to start:
 * Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate since 2009. Article is decent, but there are almost no articles on her individual poems or collections. For example, Heaney's District and Circle which won the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2006 has an article, but not Duffy's Rapture which won in 2005.
 * Strato's Boyish Muse, we do have an article on Straton of Sardis
 * In the Dreamy Afternoon, poetry collection from John Gambril Nicholson
 * The Sink of Solitude, work by Beresford Egan
 * Poems & Poèmes: Autres Alliances, poetry collection from Natalie Clifford Barney
 * Humphrey Lancaster, wrote several novels for The Fortune Press
 * The Fortune Press, only a redirect to Reginald Caton
 * The Milkman's on His Way, novel by David Rees
 * The Well of Sleevelessness, work by P. R. Stephensen (not even mentioned in his article)
 * The Playbook for Kids About Sex, by Joani Blank
 * Operation Tiger (1984), redirect to Gay's the Word (bookshop), which was prosecuted for the alleged obscenity of 144 titles - bookshop article has some coverage, but could easily be a stand-alone
 * My Life and Dancing, Maud Allan's autobiography
 * The Master of the House, novel by Radclyffe Hall, follow-up to The Well of Loneliness, on a religious theme. Interesting publishing history briefly covered in the Hall article, but would make a nice stand-alone article.
 * Humphrey Lancaster wrote several novels for The Fortune Press, including:
 * True Yokefellow
 * The Friendly Young Ladies (UK title) or The Middle Mist (US title), novel by Mary Renault
 * The Youngest Director novel by Martyn Goff, led to him meeting his life partner
