Hi
This is a very good collection of poems. Are you planning to do this as a solo or a group project? If it is the latter I would certainly like to read some of the poems.

Are you thinking of using any recordings from the abandoned solo or starting from scratch?

I'll be attempting to re-use as much of the existing recordings as possible, opening for group. So once the MW is ready I can start assigning sections.

Hi
Have you considered using the shorter "poetry disclaimer"? An example of it is given in the project thread here:

I'll set this up for you using the original project number. You can edit the MW as needed, once you decide which of the existing poems you want to use.

Original thread is in Book Suggestions. You can look up the existing PL notes there

MW complete. I'll start reviewing the individual files as I have time and see which ones can be kept.

Best I can tell, all of the original recordings (1 through 11) use the longer disclaimer. Probably good to stay consistent.
