Kéramos and other Poems, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1770 - 1850)

This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/keramos-by-henry-wadsworth-longfellow/
This is a collection of 51 poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. which include many sonnets, plus 7 translations of poems by Virgil, Ovid, Michael Angelo and others. The signature 20 minute poem, Kéramos, whisks us on an imaginary magic cloak around Europe to visit the most famous potteries of olden times, and the many edifices their ceramic art adorns and/or commemorates. Keramos is a name still used today for the study of ceramic materials both for art and for technology.
2-17 are grouped under BIRDS OF PASSAGE Flight the Fifth
18-36 are grouped under A BOOK OF SONNETS, PART II
37-43 are grouped under TRANSLATIONS
44-51 are grouped under SEVEN SONNETS and a Canzone, from the Italian of Michael Angelo
(Summary by Michele Fry)

I'll be glad to set this up for you. Be right back with the MW.

Update: The MW is up. For the title, I used the format found in Worldcat, Kéramos : and other poems, also used by LOC. I you prefer to use the format given in the header, I'd need to check if we have any guidelines about using all caps in titles.

I always thought that Michelangelo was a single Christian name :hmm:

Can I add 46 47 & 50 to my list, if that isn't too many? They are all very short :)

Dante is PL OK. I'll add you in for 46 and 47, but 50 is what you just read so please choose another. :)
As to Michaelangelo, it appears spellings do change over time. Next up on the list, I fear, no capital letters no punctuation and shorthand speech...... "You are post to glad it. See me?"
