I'm sorry, but there was a prior claim for this one that I hadn't been able to put in the Magic Window. I hope one of the other poems still open will appeal to you.

I made some claims yesterday morning and have some time over the holiday to do some recording. I know you are busy, but if you could give me the green-light on them, even just verbal, I would appreciate it!

Thanks much!!

Sorry, I've been in and out today, and sometimes just spaced out, but I think I've got the MW up to date now.

Hi Sonia,

After hearing from Larry, I don't think I can take on this project.

Hi Larry,

Just checking before I go and mess this up in a bunch of poems; how is "Cawein" actually pronounced?

I tried googling it but got all kinds of very different suggestions...

well I at least say Cawein, rhyming with "train", but I haven't heard it yet spoken, so I simply chose this pronunciation on a hunch and to me it sounded good.

Larry, here is my first contribution. Trying to give it a really haunted voice. The poem reminds me strongly of Poe's Ulalume, by topic, locale and tone.

Cawein at his best.

That was my first thought too! But then I wasn't sure and thought I'd do a quick google and got things that sounded like "Caw-ihn" amongst others and then I thought I'd check... But I'll just follow your example then

yes I was considering this pronunciation as well, as in the English language "ei" is often pronounced /ih/ but I preferred my version, so I kept it.
