I agree, Hardy is really a great poetry writer

it's a wonder he became more famous for his novels.

And here is my last for this month, a shorty by Anonymous:

Hello Rapunzelina,

I have a scary batch for Halloween! In a couple of places there are typos, but I've read what I think made the most sense. I'm sorry these are all long this month!

Thank you, Sonia and Erin!
Erin, I don't understand why you're sorry for offering us a longer duration of listening pleasure and for enriching the author collection!

Rapunzelina,

You're very kind! You juggle lots of projects, so I'm trying not to give you a lot to listen to *and* new authors to add to the database *and* do it late in the month. If everybody did that you'd never finish cataloguing each collection. You're a volunteer just like everybody else, so I'd rather not give you loads of time-consuming stuff all at once!
