[COMPLETE] Short Poetry Collection 117 - tg

Post by **TriciaG** » February 25th, 2013, 11:49 am

There aren't really very good ways of finding the copyright status of poems or other short works. I had hoped that it being on poemhunter.com meant it was PD. But I also did a search, and I found it translated into English in 1985, which would definitely still be under copyright.

So I think you're right in your doubt, unfortunately.

Hello Tricia,

Thank you! I stuck it up in section 6 after removing mudlark's non-PD poem.

PL OK.

I found the poem on poemhunter.com; I might use that as the source instead since I know it'll stick around for a while.

0:04 - did the full LV intro rather than the poetry one. It's OK unless you want to change it. Let me know either way.

I'm fine with it, thanks.

Selection two. An annonymous person wrote this out and stuck it inside my door at an apartment I lived in in the 70's. It was in a female's handwriting, but the female who wrote it did not place their name on it. She said it had to have been written for me. I don't know about that, but I'm happy I could record it.

Thanks, Bill! A couple things:

0:04 - need to say "recorded for Librivox.org by [name]". If you don't want your name for some reason, you can just say "recorded by Librivox.org."

1:07 - right at "End of poem" there's a weird wave form. I don't hear anything, but I'm guessing I would if I could hear bass notes. These speakers on my laptop aren't very good.

- Volume is too low; needs to come up 5 dB
- Could use noise cleaning

I'm sorry I see this is full now, I suppose I can just submit it to the next edition?

Post by **TriciaG** » March 2nd, 2013, 6:29 pm

Yep - don't worry about the file name. I'll change it. Just repost all the info in the other thread.

It's partly my fault - I didn't mark it as closed.

Cool!

Thanks, Bill! No time to listen to it now, so it'll be in about 12 hours.
