This project will only include the poems on pages 1 to 116. It will not include Martin Luther's Song Book or The Diary of an Old Soul as these are each long enough to need a project of their own (there is a recording of the Diary in the LV catalogue). Some of these poems, particularly Hymns to the Night, are in the catalogue as solo recordings but the whole collection is not as far as I can see.

I will DPL this myself. I will of course need the good offices of an MC

I'll act as MC - back soon, If you are not doing the whole book I'd suggest the summary needs to be very clear (so we don't get error reports

)

MW done. Or you could amend the title to include extra or selection or some other way ?

Thanks Anne

I will enhance the summary, etc as I complete the set up. I will also include information in the section titles in MW about the writers whose work the poems are based on. It will be a bit complex so will take me a while to fully set up, particularly as the final role of Samson Agonistes has just been submitted so I need to finish editing that

Section 0 (The Preface) is Ready for PL!

The intro includes some text from the Title Page. The omission of the penultimate paragraph is deliberate.
