Fanwork Notes

This poem is long in the making. I am constantly writing and rewriting this piece, which was first set to words in late 2013. The last few cantos are in the last phases of composition and editing. -March 2022

Oh! I've just read your first canto and simply had to pop a note to let you know I love it, and that I'm looking forward to reading your poem later when I have some more spacious time to savour it.

"Unsounding soft did Finrod tread" — how beautiful! Thks has to be my favourite line.

or this: "his singing voice had windless sped headlong, as clear as chiming glass."

Lovely! So pleased you updated so I could stumble upon it! Thank you!
