Canada and Other Poems, by Thomas Frederick Young ( - 1940)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/canada-and-other-poems-by-thomas-frederick-young/
From the author's preface:
I wished to do something for my country, and chose this method of doing it. The literature of this country is in its infancy. It must not always remain so, or the expectations we have in regard to making it a great nation, will never be fulfilled. Literature gives life to a nation, or rather it is the reflection of a nation's life and thought, in a mirror, which cheers, strengthens and ennobles those who look into it, and study what is there displayed. Literature must grow with our nation, and, when growing, it will aid the latter's progress in no small degree...I dedicate this little book of mine to the Canadian public. (Summary by T. F. Young)
Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/6957
Note to readers - the table of contents in the book bears no relation to the order of the poems. The MW lists poems in the published order from the book, which may help you locate the correct spot.

Deadline: Please submit your recording within 2 months of placing your claim. If you cannot complete the recording within this time, please post in the thread to relinquish your claim or to ask the BC for an extension. If your recording is not completed by the deadline, your claim may be reassigned at the BC's discretion.

Claiming sections: Look in the Magic Window below for the list of available sections. Post a reply in this thread asking for the section you would like to record.

New to recording? Please see our Newbie Guide to Recording for further instructions. A quick guide to our required technical settings can be found here. When you post your file, please tell the BC what name you would like to use in our catalog.

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

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!

Hi Krista
Great to see another group poetry collection launched :thumbs:
I am already picking my first choices :wink:

Just a suggestion, but might it not be better to use the short intro and outro usually used for poetry :hmm:

Yes, I was hoping to get my MC's opinion on the wording for that. I do want to acknowledge the whole work's name somewhere, I think. Maybe just the first section? Can we do that?
EDIT: I made some changes to the intros. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on what I have there :)

I would put the full disclaimer on the Preface and then the short intro on the poems. That is usually acceptable.

OK, your MW is ready for you, Krista! And, yes, I approve of the intro for the preface, and the use of the shorter intro for the poems!

Good one, Krista! I will participate for sure! Did you notice I've launched a book by E. Pauline Johnson too? See you in their worlds!

I asked my librarian about the noise, and she said, "no one would come here
if they weren't allowed to talk out loud." So I read out loud.

Thanks Ann. My power is finally back on, so I'll get the MW updated once I catch up on my other projects/PLs.
