User:AmericanPoet claims that there's a work that makes Clarel not the longest but the second-longest poem in American literature. I can't find evidence that this longer book exists, but if I work on the basis that it exists but is non-notable in the extreme, is Clarel then the longest or second-longest?

I can't find this rival poem, except a brief description online with the option to buy. The author has no personal information anywhere and added this information to the article, not including a citation. They have supposedly written a number of "epic poems" that seem to be self-published. It is also possible this is just trolling. This claim has been removed from the article because literary merit is lacking, as is non-notability. Gloucester1692 ( talk) 18:36, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
