Here are two more from me for this month's collection, both from books new to the PD this year.
I plan to make them both into full LV projects, but wanted to get representation into a monthly collection.

Georgia Dusk By Jean Toomer (1894—1967)

Yes, indeed! You have a perfect voice for reading these poems! I hope you enjoyed recording! Here's your Reader Page in the catalogue: https://librivox.org/reader/13615

My only comment about your recordings concerns the filename, it needs to end with _128kb.mp3, but I can rename the filenames, so nothing you need to do now; just letting you now for future uploads!

[wsfrmn]

Thank so much, Rapunzelina! I’ll remember to add the 128kb in the future! And I’ve got one more coming in a an hour or so, if that’s ok...

[wsfrmn]

OK, last one from me:

Thank you, Wes, Samari and Dale!!

Lovely recordings!

I'm excited that this collection grows larger and larger, offering so many diverse poems to the listeners!

[Grothmann]

I am not entirely sure this is not an indictment of Organized Christianity. Or not. Perhaps.
See what you think.

Thanks
Dale

[Rapunzelina]

Awesome!

I'm not analyzing the poem, but I believe Bierce is capable of an indictment of Organized Christianity

(I tweaked the filename to make it spc196)

[Grothmann]

Thanks

A few autumn-themed ones from me. Both Alfred Austin and Robert Bridges held the post of Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. Apparently Austin isn't very well regarded in the poetry world...

A third poem from me:

Italia by Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Also, I draw your attention to an error in the MW which is due to my earlier mistake: section 34 should not be titled 'Rome Unvisited' but rather 'San Miniato'. Sorry about that.
