I am here Just listened to the three poems and they are all PL ok. And beautifully read, very expressive. I especially loved The Night Journey. There was a certain something in the text that touched my soul.Rapunzelina wrote: ↑June 8th, 2018, 5:32 am When a lover hies abroad by Rudyard Kipling

Dear Rapunzelina,
I also would like to try and contribute (for the first time) a poem to this collection. As English is not my mother tongue, I would be delighted if you could give me some feedback if you think this recording is understandable and suitable for this collection. Thanks a lot!
Here is:
Matthew Arnold (1822 - 1888)
Immortality

Bruce.
Nemo, Craig, Boris and Bruce, thanks for all these. I will act as Deputy PL for Rapunzelina for the moment and promise to listen to all your wonderful poems later on in the day. Stay tuned !
Meanwhile updating the MW, so I won't forget any of them.
Sonia

let's start with Nemo
I will mark the Branwell poems PL ok already.
For The Philosopher, I have a small note:
> at 2:42: “This sentient soul” – please have a listen here, I hear “sentiment”, but my ears could be playing me tricks
@Rapunzelina: are we accepting "the poet's corner" link as source ? I did check with an archive scan, and the text is the same, so all is well.
thanks Nemo, great choice !
Sonia
I see you opted for a Brontë month I have never read anything by Branwell but he seems to have been as much of a romantic soul as his sister Emily. I especially liked the moody narration you did for Penmaenmawr, but all three poems are excellently read
I will mark the Branwell poems PL ok already.
For The Philosopher, I have a small note:
> at 2:42: “This sentient soul” – please have a listen here, I hear “sentiment”, but my ears could be playing me tricks

thanks Nemo, great choice !
Sonia
thank you Craig, a poem about a spider is quite fascinating. I really liked it and you were reading it flawlessly, so PL ok, without any doubts.
@Rapunzelina: this seems to be a new author in the database. I haven't added him into the metadata yet
Sonia
Hallo Boris so now I get to listen to you in English as well
You also chose "the poet's corner" link, but I found another archive scan, so the text is exactly the same.
Thanks !!! This was a really nice choice for this collection.
Sonia
your English is excellently understandable in fact I detect a slight verge toward a real British accent, so you need not fret at all, the poem is wonderfully read, with your usual expressiveness and passion. Absolutely PL ok and I think you need to participate more often in English projects. Hey you could be an excellent addition to the drama section, plenty of roles only waiting for you to grab them

Sonia
wonderful choice, Bruce, Madison Cawein is one of my favourite poets And I even remember the Undertones project, as I was also reading a few poems in that one. Not these three though.
Your reading is very dramatic, and in parts it almost sounds like a sing-song sort of recital. It's a great effect for these poems, I find. Nicely done.
All three poems PL ok.
And that's it for my backlog so far. Only my own poem left to check, but I leave that pleasure to Rapunzelina

Thanks Sonia! .. I listened to the part you indicated and it sounds fine to me.
I often use "Poets Corner" for this project. In fact, Rapunzelina suggest it as a source in the instructions in item #2
