• ... that the 1992 science fiction poetry collection Songs of Muad'Dib contains over 80 poems by Frank Herbert, many related to his Dune science fiction series? Source: either of the cited (offline) book reviews, or https://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?31232

Created by Piotrus (talk). Self-nominated at 08:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Songs of Muad'Dib; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. Piotrus, while recognizing that there's a limited amount to work with, can you think of some more engaging hooks? This one is just a simple description that doesn't seem (at least to me) that interesting. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:14, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

    • (Jumping in) @Piotrus and Usernameunique: Would any of these work? UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 20:14, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
      • ALT1: ... that Songs of Muad'Dib, a poetry collection by Dune creator Frank Herbert, was reviewed as "peculiar at best"?
      • ALT2: ... that Brian Herbert, the son of Frank Herbert, may have left a poem out of a collection of his father's poetry because it was "too racy"?
      • ALT3 ... that Frank Herbert's son published a book of his poetry, possibly as a marketing stunt for Dune?
        • I am not opposed, although ALT1 and 3 might not be fully neutral. ALT2 is probably the best. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:47, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Are any of the above ALTs approved? Z1720 (talk) 03:17, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, sorry for the delay. Preference to ALT1 or ALT2. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
