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.

Thank you, Bruce. I'm grateful for the time you've taken away from recording to make these projects available for listeners.
