IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Pnagami has very generously agreed to PL.

This is a short collection of poems and should be very quick - I've recorded them and have been using them to test different editing settings.

Hi Pam,

Thank you for that! And yes, I thought the subject might be right up your street!

Amy, this author is ready to go find listeners who like poetry about desert plants!

Thank you so much Amy, Pam and Anne for all stages of this project! I think this must set some kind of record for it all PLed, catalogued and have a cover so quickly!

I think it is a great one. Plants and poetry and an author not represented in the catalog yet. :D :clap:
