Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a compact K"ahler-Einstein manifold with $c_1>0$. Denote by $KoM$ the canonical line-bundle, with total space $X$, and $X_0$ the singular space obtained by blowing down $X$ along its zero section. We employ a construction by Page and Pope and discuss an interesting multi-parameter family of Poincar'e--Einstein metrics on $X$. One 1-parameter subfamily ${g_t}_{t>0}$ has the property that as $tsearrow0$, $g_t$ converges to a PE metric $g_0$ on $X_0$ with conic singularity, while $t^{-1}{g}_t$ converges to a complete Ricci-flat K"ahler metric $hat{g}_0$ on $X$. Another 1-parameters subfamily has an edge singularity along the zero section of $X$, with cone angle depending on the parameter, but has constant conformal infinity. These illustrate some unexpected features of the Poincar'e-Einstein moduli space.
