Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates for SL(3,C) representations
We define Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates for representations of surface groups to ${\rm SL}(3,{\mathbb C})$. We also show how these coordinates relate to the classical Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates and to their generalisations by Kourouniotis, Tan, Goldman, Zhang and Parker-Platis.

Calamus 45 Full of life, sweet-blooded, compact, visible
A remarkably effective poem for the end of the cluster. Whitman talking directly to us, the reader, about the import of his poems. And with some ambition: "To one a century hence, or any number of centuries hence".
But even better, he's horny for us:
Now it is you ... seeking me,
Fancying how happy you were, if I could be with you, and become your lover
The poet is imagining us, his future readers, thinking about how we will want to be his lover. What a lusty man! Whitman is not modest.
I love it. And it's a fitting end to this series. I've greatly enjoyed reading them. Over the past 45 days I've learned better how to read Whitman, to understand his poems. And to relate to them in at least one simple way, teasing out the gayest and sexiest parts of these poems. Making them fun for myself.
I'm not quite done yet. I hope to identify my favorites of the group. I may also try my hand at reading one or two aloud.

Calamus 38 Primeval my love for the woman I love
Finally a love poem with a female subject! Or is it?
Primeval my love for the woman I love,
It starts off obviously heterosexual, his love for a woman. But then most of the poem is about another love, for "O man", "the last athletic reality". It sounds like he's elevating the love of this other man to "the ethereal", something more spiritual in contrast to the primeval of the first line. But in the context of the rest of Calamus maybe he's saying more about that love for this athletic man, the "sharer of my roving life".
Edit: the Calamus Project reading suggests an extra meaning of "sharer of my roving life". It sounds like Whitman is stepping out on his wife, "roving" with a man on the side.
