Previous count of unpublished poems is 77 rather than 70, though it might well be a definition matter. The Guardian article aslo seems to take the number of entries (195) as that of poems (240+).

Bealuwérig is so interesting!

Going by the titles I get to 295 poems including variant versions.

Can't wait for this - the only Tolkien release that I think has genuinely "mattered" in years.

I'm very happy to see The Lay of the Fall of Gondolin. Despite Christopher's choices to omit or partially omit them, poems that capture the 'same story facts' as prose versions really do add something.

But ... Monoceros, the Unicorn and Reginhardus, the Fox are not in there. Corey Olsen will be mildly disappointed.

I'm also delighted to see The Lay of the Fall of Gondolin.

My hope is that Findegil are asked to produce a similar collection of Tolkien's academic papers one day soon.

I guess the un-named lad in the photo might be Simon? (edit: oh, yes, if you go to the gallery view, it says it's him).

Glory and trumpets! That would be amazing. But only after a well-deserved rest and hopefully massive sales!

All of the prefaces, notes, forewords, supporting letters, talks, a selection of lectures and notes, with unpublished academic texts. I'm not greedy 😊 and all after, as you say, great sales on the poetry and well deserved rest for the editors.
