Love and Longing by Philip Max Raskin (1880 - 1944).

This project is now complete! All audio files can now be found on the catalog page for this project https://librivox.org/love-and-longing-by-philip-max-raskin/
Philip Max Raskin was a Jewish poet about whose life not much can be found today. His poetry, however, lives on, and some poems are still well-known today. This volume contains a series of love-poems, sometimes conveying hope and happiness, sometimes longing and disappointment. ( Carolin)
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/songsdreams00rask
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

      Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard

      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!

The first section should be read with the long intro:

Make sure you add this to the beginning of your recording:

  • If you wish, say: "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"
  • Say:
    "Love and Longing, by Philip Max Raskin. Foreword"

END of recording
  • At the end of the section, say:
    "End of Foreword"
  • If you wish, say:
    "Recording by [your name], [city, your blog, podcast, web address]"

Is there a way to download or print the source text? It is a challenge to keep multiple tabs open and for longer pieces it would work better to have a printed version, to make notes, etc.

Thank you :thumbs:

Please post the definite length of your recordings, which you can get by hovering with thd mouse over your file or by looking up the file properties or by checking in audacity.

You can download and print a pdf version of the text, from the menu on the right hand side listing all the file formats. Dont use the txt version as it is full of errors. Thank you! :)
