Thank you for telling me about the metadata. Adding just the text link will be a shade quicker, and it's all to the good if it makes it visually tidier to boot. Seeing what different translators opted for is fascinating. Trying to make them audibly engaging is going to be plenty, I'm glad I didn't c...

Thank you, Ann!

Thank you both!

I'm glad you're reading some of the mini biographies for these poets. Some of the authors in this series really had remarkable lives.

The job is yours! I don't want to load you up, but if you'd like to take it on I certainly shan't say no!

Welcome back, and thank you again for putting up with my eccentric tastes! This collection is a curious case, as two poems comprise five of the sections as rendered by different translators. You can see which interpretation you prefer.

Some good soul had already recorded one of this author's poems, so he's already in the catalogue. However, if findagrave dates are acceptable as a source his dates could be updated to 1860-1949. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/254352139/edward-charles_everard-owen Hathi has been playing up today...

Three Hills, by Everard Owen This project is now complete!

Thank you, Bruce. I'm grateful for the time you've taken away from recording to make these projects available for listeners. Anne (and Bruce if you wish , but I do not want to presume), I'll be launching José Asunción Silva late Thursday or early Friday your time. It'll be slower; I've recorded noth...

19 and 20 are spot PL OK. I'll PL 21 soon. Okay, this is a good time to ask about it, since you've raised it. I was fairly certain 'lower' had come up before, but I didn't want to point the finger and make it sound as if I were implying 'you MUST get this right, the world depends on it!'. Ultimately...

Section 8 is PL OK.
Erin

Thank you!

I certainly can't resolve the nature/nurture question, but her brother also wrote various supernatural stories (already recorded) if you feel like comparing!

Poems 1-7 are ready for PL. I'm not sure what stardust was sprinkled over the recording sessions but there was more usable material than I thought there would be, hence its being ready now. However, I emphatically do not expect you to rush to it, especially as you've just PLed another poetry project...
