Hello;
I'm looking for a poem titled Will. This poem was in my Literature book, Literature The Human Experience, in the early 1980's. The current version of this book does not have this poem. I have search online and nothing...You mind to ask your sources?
This poem is about a person's will to live. It is regarding suicide, and how some suicide victims are found, while others who are living life have their lives cut short.
thanks

I received a private message regarding a specific poem - but I haven't been able to find it. My guess is it's not in the public domain, but maybe someone else can locate it and find out when it was first published?

There's a 1986 edition on Archive: https://archive.org/details/literaturehumane2051222abca
but I don't find a poem titled "Will" in there. The other editions on Archive are all later.

This poem, by a reasonably well-known female American poet who was sometimes included in anthologies, is entitled "Will." It doesn't seem to apply to suicides directly.
I'll keep looking. I have a few older anthologies of poetry in my collection.

Thank you so much Peter!
This means that the poem is not in the public domain, but at least the question is resolved!
