This Expanded Second Edition of Jackson Crawford's 2015 translation of the Poetic Edda offers a wider range of poems (now including the Eddic Old Norse poem "Svipdagsmal" and four related non-Eddic Old Norse poems, "Eiriksmal," "Hakonarmal," "Krakumal," and "Lokrur") as well as a revised translation and enhanced editorial apparatus. Set in a new page design, it also features samples from the Old Norse texts written in the Old Norse runic alphabet known as the Younger Futhark (in Jackson Crawford's hand) along with original Old Norse-inspired Latin alphabet typographical ideograms (by E. L. Wilson).
