I am just cleaning up the first four poetry books by Edwin Markham.

I have also done his "Ballad of a Gallows Bird". While the poem and his notes are in the public domain, the introduction in the edition I used is not. The introduction is by Louis Filler and he died in 1998 so I left it out.

There is fifth book, "80 Poems at 80" that I have been unable to find. Even the Toronto Reference Library doesn't have it. I don't want it badly enough to pay upwards of $30(US) to buy a copy. I might try for an inter-library loan next week unless someone here can point me to copy. No, Archive.org does not have a copy. Everything else but that.

I'll post what I have done by the end of the month.

I've been doing some other poetry but it is only public domain in life+50 countries, which Canada (for the moment) still is. I've been looking at e.e. cummings and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Maybe I'll pass them on to Gutenberg Canada.
