Here's my contribution for the month - three short poems from the March 1924 issue of Weird Tales.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any info on Leonard Fohn at all - the dates I've listed above are from a Family Search page, but there's nothing to confirm whether or not it's the same Leonard Fohn or someone else with the same name. Hope that's alright.
Thanks!

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.

Indeed, your reading brings out both of your selected poems!
I have a few comments:
About the text source. Both of your selections are in the public domain, but in order to be easily ascertained, please choose a source that either shows publication information, like an archive.org scan (books published 1925 and earlier) or gutenberg.org. Both of these poems are in gutenberg.org here: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/34001 so we'll use that as text source
About filenames. Each project's first post has the instructions for filename format, which helps at cataloguing with correct ordering, etc. Also, only lower-case letters in file names.
About volume. Your two recordings are a bit louder than desired by about 10dBs, but it will be easy to fix with some de-Amplification in Audacity. Have you come across the Checker? https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Checker It's a nice tool to check tech specs but also volume. Ideal volume is 89dB and anything between ~87-91 is close enough.
Would you like to fix volume and re-upload with correct file names? If you're still not very comfortable with editing, I can easily do it for you, just let me know
Thank you for your contribution, Andrew! I am a fan of your source choiceOooThatsNifty wrote: ↑February 24th, 2021, 10:12 pm Here's my contribution for the month - three short poems from the March 1924 issue of Weird Tales.

About the author's dates, I think it's best I leave the information blank since it's unclear. Maybe it'll turn up later!

Ok got it! I had trouble adjusting the volume in Audacity, finally found effect/amplify.
I used the checker.

Thank you, Josh! A happy ending for the despairing lover! PL OK, though the volume is a bit softer than desired. It's only a bit, so I can adjust it at cataloguing, but I'm mentioning it as a heads-up on the volume. If you'd like, you could use the Checker to measure volume of your mp3 files, then adjust if necessary. Ideal volume is 89dB, and anything between 86-92 is close enough.MrJoshua75 wrote: ↑February 25th, 2021, 3:35 pm The Despairing Lover by William Walsh (1662-1708)

Czandra, thank you for your two poems! Very entertaining!
Are you still having trouble pasting? I'm not sure what could be causing it. Are you on a Windows laptop? Would it be a solution to type your post in a separate text file (e.g. Notepad) and then pasting the whole of it?
I'd like to mention something I noticed in the sound clarity of the recordings. I think there's some background noise whenever you begin a new recording, as if the microphone is trying to adjust to the environmental sounds and picking up everything before it focuses on your voice; then, maybe after 2-3 seconds, the background noise is gone. I think that happens also when you do a new recording to fix a mistake, like in 1:17 in Assinine Election. If that's not just in my head, and you can also notice it, then you could try saying a mock phrase before the actual text whenever you start a new recording, which you'd then delete and leave only the noise-free text. Anyway, just an idea.
Everything worked out great! Thank you, Glenn!

Here's your Reader Page: https://librivox.org/reader/15868 which you can also access from your name-link in the Magic Window. It lists the projects you read for, and can also help you keep track of your sections in ongoing projects, under the "Reader Section Details" link.
Your tech specs are correct! I think there's a slight background hum. If you're in Audacity, you could look into the Noise Reduction effect and see if it sounds clearer to you. (let me know if you'd like more detailed instructions on it). But it is non-obtrusive and it doesn't drown your voice, so dealing with it is optional. So your recording is marked PL OK
