OK, great work. So now the question is, are there either:
1) Any poems that were published in more than one collection (but not in
an omnibus like Collected Poems)
2) Any poems that are in an omnibus that were not published in a
previous collection?
The answer will inform whether or not we do an omnibus. If there are
duplicates across collections, or uncollected poetry that was published
individually or later published in an omnibus, then we do our own
omnibus. Otherwise, we can produce each collection individually.

https://archive.org/details/uncollecteddorot0000park/page/244/mode/2up> - also known as "Not Much Fun" in a different edition), published in 1999, is a collection of previously unpublished poems. It also has a "Complete Chronology" section with original publishing dates for *all* of Parker's poems (pages 244-254). I know there is a second edition from 2009 that includes some additional unpublished poems, but I cannot find it online. Maybe this initial list is exhaustive enough? I could then compile a spreadsheet from it.
