public-domain-poetry's Introduction

Public Domain Poetry

Thousands of poems in the public domain live buried in school libraries, archaic websites, journals gone out of print. We don't have a free, unified access. An open library.

Let's build one.

Overview

Poems are restored with Zenup, an open format for prose and poetry.

Accompanied Python scripts provide a convenient way to read, evaluate, and print the results of a poem or a directory of poems.

Scripts require Python 2.7.x.

Status

40,000 poems are available in this git repo. However future poems will be curated in Elasticsearch for better scalability.

Credit

Thanks to the original sites that hosted thousands of public domain poetry:

Special thanks to Ata Moharreri, former managing editor of The Massachusetts Review for curating the initial 1500 poems.

Poems are available for free for personal or commercial use, provided Zenup BSD-style license is retained.
