Picture-Show, by Siegfried Sassoon (1886 - 1967)

This project is complete and all audio files can be found in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/picture-show-by-siegfried-sassoon/

Volunteers outside the USA: Siegfried Sassoon died in 1967. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
One of Sassoon's earlier collections of poems. This book is particularly interesting as Sassoon begins a transition toward poetry unrelated to war. There are still war poems found here, but there is also an exploration of the coming of modern times and even Sassoon's look forward for himself. (Summary by KevinS)

Target completion date: 2022-07-14

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I have finished this recording. I just need to find a DPL who won't mind the four seconds of silence I have placed after each poem.

MW is in place and you should both have access. Let me know if not.

What do you use for intro? I guess you don't really need the "Section #" part since it's just one file.

I tend to be a bit picky on titles, so if you are okay with a missing word in one of the poem titles, we can mark it as PL OK.

Otherwise:

19:27 missing word "at" in title "what the captain said at the point to point" or possibly my ear is just missing the "at" in your reading.

Thanks,

M

M., thank you. I did somehow manage to swallow the 'at.' Here is the correction.
