Dedication for Don Juan by George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)

11.06

This poem is a parody of the work of Robert Southey, the Poet Laureate of the time, who Byron detested. The Rhymes are deliberately comically bad

Hi Jim! Thank you for your beautiful rendition of Poe's Raven!

If you are available for some edits, the most important is the intro at the beginning. For the poetry collection, we go with something shorter, see details in first post. For this recording, you can say "The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, read for Librivox dot org by {your name}." and then read the poem. The ending would go "End of poem. This recording is in the public domain." Then leave 5 seconds of silence.
And an optional edit, up to you, at about current 5:46, text is "on this desert land enchanted", recording has "on this desert island enchanted"

Hi Alan! Thank you for this satiric caricature of a poem

I noticed just one word substitution, as an optional edit at around 3:27, text is "For all the glory your conversion brought", recording has "conversation". I'll mark PL OK, but feel free to re-upload, if you choose to fix.

Dear Rapunzelina

Here are my recordings, but I must admit, for the first time I am not quite sure what to do about the audio. For some reason, I can't quite seem to mix the playback and recording just right, but hopefully, it is not too distracting and I'll be able to fix that soon.
