Hi Joanna! Thank you for your contribution! It is PL OK, I just made a note to myself to add _128 to the filename at cataloguing.

I was trying to find more information for the poet. Where did you get the dates? maybe there's more info there to include to his bio in our catalogue.

Hello! I found his dates of existence at this website: https://archives.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/sanborn-robert-alden
Sorry for the slip with _128, will be more mindful with future submissions!

[Rapunzelina]

Thank you, M, for your poems, which are all PL OK!


Thank you for the link, Joanna! This is great! It has a short bio and everything!

Song of the Sanyasin
Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)

[Rapunzelina]

Thank you! The reading is great! However there are a couple of issues:
-The book you have chosen as text source was published in 1947, as far as I can tell. Maybe you can find this poem in a 1926 and earlier publication so that it's clearly in the public domain?
-The bit rate should be 128 kbps, constant. If you use Audacity, you can set this when exporting.

Let's do something unusual and contribute a poem

I've recently heard this one set to music, so I thought I'd read it. It certainly sounds suitably doomy for today's world...

[God lay dead in heaven] by Stephen Crane (1871–1900) (I used an incipit following this Wikipedia article, because the source text only uses numerals to mark particular pieces. Tell me if I need to change it to something else.

Wow, I agree, suitably doomy!

The title works well, and I added the numeral in the MW, to include that as well.
Thank you for the links!

PL OK!
