Hello, I'd like to produce an omnibus collection of Frost's poetry that's currently available in the public domain. This continues the discussion started here.

This omnibus would mainly contain Frost's first 5 poetry collections published before 1930:
- A Boy's Will (1913) (scans) (PG)
- North of Boston (1914) (scans) (PG) (SE)
- Mountain Interval (1916) (scans) (PG)
- New Hampshire (1923) (scans) (PG) (SE)
- West Running Brook (1928) (scans) (FP)

Note that this doesn't include compilations of poems that were previously published in other collections (e.g. Selected Poems from 1923). Of these, New Hampshire and North of Boston are already available in SE, but not sure if I'm allowed to use them directly for this omnibus, or if I should remake those parts from scratch.

Frost also had a decent number of uncollected and unpublished poetry at the time of his death. Poems published after his death (1963) but before 1978 have the 95-year copyright protection, so they can't be used until at least 2059. Anything published after 1978 but before 2002 will enter the public domain in 2048. And everything else after 2002, published or unpublished, will enter the public domain on 2033 (70 years after his death). So for this collection, we're only interested in published but uncollected poems from before 1930, at least for now.

I prepared an excel sheet (here) containing all of Frost's uncollected and unpublished poetry, based on the information in the book Robert Frost Among His Poems (abbreviated to AHS from here) (link). Included in this document are links to page scans of all the uncollected poetry before 1930 that I've been able to find, which we can include in this omnibus. Note that AHS was published in 1996, so poems that were published between then and 2002 may have incorrect publication status for copyright purposes. There was a paperback edition of this book published in 2005, but I don't know if it contained any changes to the content (and is not available for access online, unfortunately).

Four of the early poems on the excel sheet may have copyright problems. These four were printed in Frost's "true first" poetry collection, Twilight. The problem here is that Frost only ever printed two copies of the book in 1894, one for himself and the other for Elinor White, his future wife. Frost destroyed his own copy, and Elinor's surviving copy is with the Barrett Library (University of Virginia). If this print counts as a publication, then the poems will have entered the public domain long ago, though I'm unsure if the Barrett Library would even provide scans of such a rarity. If it doesn't count, then the date of publication is likely 1966, when the Barrett Library reprinted the book with an added introduction and gave it out as gifts to members of the Poetry Society of Virginia.

There are also three early poems which may have been written by Frost anonymously. These are "Dream-Land", "Down the Brook - And Back", and "Parting". The latter two were published in the December 1891 issue of his high school bulletin, one without a listed author and the other attributed to Amnessel (anagram for nameless). Of this particular issue, Frost commented that he had received very little material for publication, so he wrote most of it himself, including at least one poem. And "Dream-Land", which was published earlier that year, was also attributed to Amnessel. Interestingly, the Library of America collection of Frost includes the latter two poems, but not "Dream-Land". AHS has more information about this if anyone wishes to read about it.

Of the uncollected poems for which there aren't any scans, I've located where there might be physical copies and have requested scans for some of them:

- "The Sachem of the Clouds" (Lawrence Public Library)
- Lawrence High School Bulletin Poems (Jones Library, Amherst) (accepted)
- "The Later Minstrel" (Amherst College Library) (link)
- "Good Relief" (UCLA)
- "Slipshod Rhymes" / "A Kitchen in School" (Unknown)

We would need to figure out how to cite these sources in the release. Should we upload the scans somewhere to be viewed if possible, or just link to a library record directly? Specifically, the Jones Library has requested citation to help researchers find the source of the poems if necessary.

For the omnibus's formatting, I suggest maintaining each poem within their respective collection, and making each collection a section of the omnibus. This is what most modern Frost compilations do, following the standard set by Collected Poems in 1930. Any uncollected poem can then be put in a separate section title "Uncollected and Unpublished" in their publication order.

I should also mention that there are a handful of poems which were published in magazines and books before 1930, but collected afterwards. The ones I've found are based on a very early Frost bibliography (source) (excel here), so it is likely not exhaustive (and wrong in a couple of places). You could also go through every poem listed in AHS and prepare a more complete list, but I don't think it's worth the effort. I would recommend only including these poems once their entire collection enters the public domain, to not have to move around poems from the uncollected section once that happens. There are four exceptions I'd treat differently, however:

- "Locked Out (As Told to a Child)" (1917) (link, likely unusable)
- May be available at the Barrett Library, published as part of "The Bouquet"
- "The Same Leaves" (1926) (link)
- "The Walker" (1928) (link, later renamed "The Egg and the Machine")
- "The Lovely Shall be Choosers" (1929) (link)

These were added to various sections of Collected Poems (1930) and maintained for all later editions of the book. Since this book's sections are modeled after Frost's collections up to that point, some consider these as edits to the original collections. But I suggest keeping the original publication of the collections intact and putting these additional poems directly in "Uncollected". Additionally, "The Last Word of Bluebird" and "What Fifty Said" made their debut in this collection (and were unpublished before this). Three poems were also removed from the A Boy's Will section: "Asking for Roses", "In Equal Sacrifice", and "Spoils of the Dead", which AHS considers uncollected since it is based on the modern Collected Poems collection.

Wow, you've done your research!

Unfortunately, a poetry collection is too complex for a first production. For your first production, you should pick something from the "For your first production" section in the Wanted Ebooks list, or pitch something else that is less than about 100k words with basic formatting.

As Emma said, this is excellent research. Well done.

As Emma said, Robert Frost's collected poetry will be a very difficult
ebook to produce. We ask that first time producers work on something
basic for their first production. This is to familiarize you with our
process before you move on to something more advanced, and is less of a
burden on the manager and reviewer of your project as you learn the process.

For now I'm going to add your spreadsheet to our collected spreadsheets
page in case you don't end up working on this, because this very good
research will be useful. But if you do complete a basic ebook with us
first and move on to this one, we can continue discussion in depth then.

I will say though that to be considered "published" in US copyright law,
it must have been made available to the public. So a private publication
Twilight does not count. I would also exclude anonymous juvenilia.
Juvenilia in general is IMHO already of questionable value, and the fact
that it's anonymous makes it even less so - more suitable as a curiosity
in an appendix than standing side-by-side with mature poems.

Thank you for the kind words about the research. But I understand needing more experience with the production process before tackling such a complicated project. For that purpose, I propose I first start production on A Boy's Will, as if it were a standalone project. Then having completed that (minus publication), I could proceed to working on the entire omnibus.

But if that's not possible, please save this project for me while I take care of competing a separate production. I'd hate putting all that work into researching the topic only for someone else to finish the job. Would Herman Hesse's Demian be a good candidate for production? There's a decent translation available on PG that I can work with, but I'll gather all the details if it's accepted and post it on a separate thread.

That would be a waste because we would subsume it into the Frost omnibus
immediately. (We will be deleting our existing Frost books in favor of
this omnibus once it's done.)

You should select a plain prose work no longer than about 100k words.
There are lots of options on our Wanted list:
https://standardebooks.org/contribute/wanted-ebooks

Or you can pitch some other shorter basic book that interests you.

Hi Alex, I think you may have missed the second part of my message. Would Demian by Herman Hesse be an appropriate first production (~56k words)? I'll start a new conversation with the appropriate details if the book is acceptable.

Oops, I missed that. Yes, you can work on that.

Wikipedia says the translator is N. H. Priday. The intro section I would
call a prologue, which makes it part of the body matter and means you
don't need a half title page. See the manual for how to format a section
with no title.

The book has a subtitle which you'll include in the metadata, see the
manual for how to do that.

Remove "the end".

Otherwise this will be very straightforward.

Make sure to read the Standard Ebooks Manual of Style before starting,
as you won't know what to fix if you haven't read the standards. In
particular, please closely review the semantics, high level patterns,
and typography sections:

https://standardebooks.org/manual

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/4-semantics

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/7-high-level-structural-patterns

https://standardebooks.org/manual/latest/8-typography

The step by step guide will take you from start to finish:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/producing-an-ebook-step-by-step

This page on common issues in older books may be useful:

https://standardebooks.org/contribute/how-tos/common-issues-when-working-on-public-domain-ebooks

Please email often if you have any questions at all. Our standards are
well-established so there is probably already a standard for formatting
whatever problem you've encountered.

When you're ready, email back with a link to your Github repository so
that I can mark you as having started.

Have fun! :)
