Have you ever suggested a poetry book for recording by LibriVox only to be told by some good-for-nothing admin that it can’t be done because it’s not in the Public Domain in the US? If that is the case, this project is dedicated to you. It consists of ten early Public Domain poems by some of the authors mention of whose most popular works is most likely to come in close proximity to the word “sorry” in the LV forums.
