You can follow me! But I’m old-ish (are millennials “old” yet?) and not super active. I’m hoping to pick up the pace soon though

Unfortunately no, it was published in 1956 so that becomes more complicated. Poet died in 1962

Absolutely! It’s definitely a personal passion project, and if it doesn’t get published, I think it would still make me happy to have done it. But also…I might keep sending it out until it gets published someday.

I love this! I have a favorite maple tree nearby. I have thought about putting it in a book someday

I don’t know, how would I find that out? #kidlitart

Unfortunately not 100 years. Originally coined in 1956, but the copyright has been renewed as late as 1991 according to poets.org

Q2. I would love to get started drafting some illustrations for my dream project. Since it’s based on an already-published poem, I already have the text!.

Alt. I need to sort out the legal business of using a previously published text…oh, and get an agent 🤞

Q1: ever since I got interested in #kidlitart, I have wanted to illustrate a picture book of a specific favorite poem. I’m not sure how that works with rights and permissions, and I’ve never asked anyone about it before. Anyone have advice for me? The poet died in 1962
