Is that really the way it works in the US? In most of Europe, the initial publication of a work that would otherwise be in the public domain gets a one-time, non-renewable, 25-year copyright term. Given that Ms Atwood is currently 74 years old, and hence almost certain to be in the public domain in 2114 (assuming a life+70 copyright term), that would be the case for this work.
