Hi Eline,
Welcome to Librivox! It would be great to have a contribution in Icelandic! This poem looks like it would fit in perfectly in the Multilingual Poetry Collection in the Short Works forum. You don't have to claim it there, you can just submit it.
I know that the collection looks full at the moment, but a new one is going to be started very soon.
I hope to hear your voice soon!
Anna

Elin is my Elin! MWA HAHAHAHAHAH. You guys have no idea how long it has taken me to cajole her into this.

[Sibella]

I note also that the disclaimer has now been translated into ICELANDIC.

[lezer]

Good work, Sibella!
Wow, the disclaimer in Icelandic !!!

[ElinE]

I'll post it in the next Multilingual poetry collection, then, if you recommend it

[Sibella]

Since the multilingual poetry collection is full, I think Elin should record this poem as a solo for now, and consider adding to a ML poetry collection if it's created later.

Here's the new Multilingual Poetry Collection:

(All the contents of collections are still fully searchable in the catalog, individually, by the way)

Hi ElinE,
Haven't heard from you in a while - it would be great if you could record this poem for us! In the meantime, I'll just move this thread over to the Suggestions forum.
The Multilingual Poetry Collection is still waiting for its very first Icelandic contribution!
