The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien

The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien is a book edited by scholars Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond in the style of Christopher Tolkien's series, compiling most of J.R.R. Tolkien's poems.
It will offer annotated notes to "at least 240 discrete poems" that Tolkien wrote, to be "presented in 195 entries and five appendices", though this number depends "on how one distinguishes titles and versions" of existing poems. In addition to 77 previously unpublished poems, the collection will contain a small selection of poems from and and some extracts from Tolkiens book-length poems such as The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún and The Fall of Arthur. The book will be published in three volumes by HarperCollins in the UK on September 12, 2024 and September 17, 2024 in the USA. The book also mentions unpublished poems not in this collection such as Monoceros, the Unicorn, Reginhardus, the Fox, and Smakkabagms.
