It Can Be Done., by Joseph Morris (1889 - 1947) and St. Clair Adams (1883 -? )
It can be done This is a volume of inspirational poems. Its purpose is to bring men courage and resolution, to cheer them, to fire them with new confidence when they grow dispirited, to strengthen their faith that THINGS CAN BE DONE. It is better for this purpose than the entire works of any one poet, for it takes the cream of many and has greater diversity than any one writer can show. (Summary by the Authors)

If you're looking for a DPL, please count me in! I've noted it's Word Perfect level.

Hi Rapunzelina,
It will be great to have you as DPL! Only the poems would have to be word-perfect. The intros to the poems could be standard. If you usually have the Short Poetry Collection as Standard PL, I am fine with switching it to that. Let me know.
Thank you for your help!

Word perfect should be fine. It's set to "special" in the poetry collection, where I use some discretion on whether a slip of the tongue might change the meaning or meter, for example.

I like that. I'll change it to special. I don't usually do poetry projects.
Thanks!
