In the public domain soon, in libraries now

The Penn Libraries, where I work, has first editions of many of the works featured in my . From today through Public Domain Day, the Libraries social media will feature photos of some distinctive books from 1930.

One of featured photos, also shown here, is of the 1930 edition of W. H. Auden‘s Poems, which made his work known to readers worldwide. Glynn Young writes about the “brilliant collection” of 30 poems, and one verse drama, joining the public domain in 6 days.
