In this episode (a replay of an episode from 2024) we discuss that renowned Tolkien scholars Christina Scull and Wayne Hammond published a new book with NEW content by Tolkien–The Collected Poems of JRR Tolkien. I take a look at their announcement, highlighting some of the details they mentioned.

I also take a bit of time to discuss therevised and expanded version of Tolkien’s letters.
