"be aware / these things i say i mean / are just traces of something / i long to feel again"

[larryhammer]

Over on @poetry, I recently hosted a week where I shared poems too long to share, as in book-length poems that could only be posted as an opening passage with links to the complete texts for further reading. Since it may be of interest to some people here, here's links to the posts. Possibly someone will find something excellent to read, or good enough to.

Psyche by Mary Tighe
The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott
Don Juan by George Gordon, Lord Byron
Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin (trans. Johnston)
Amours de Voyage by Arthur Hugh Clough
Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Metamorphoses by Ovid (trans. Humphreys)

(I of course have Things To Say about translations of Ovid, though that wasn't one of them, but that was outside my scope.)
