Another installment of our Weekly Poetry Project: every week someone chooses a public domain poem (not too long) and posts it on the forum under Readers Wanted/Weekly Poetry. Everyone is encouraged to record a version of it.
Last week, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we chose:
The Song of Wandering Aengus, by William Butler Yeats
And here is the randomly-chosen weekly poetry podcast:
Gail reads:
The Song of Wandering Aengus, by William Butler Yeats.
You’ll find seventeen other versions on our catalog page.
Check the forum for our next Weekly Poem and join the fun!
LibriVox is the first (we believe) to publish a free, public domain online version of Mark Twain’s Autobiography.
“Mark Twain’s Autobiography” was published in 1924 by New York’s Harper & Brothers Publishers. Published after 1923, this edition is not in the public domain in the USA. However, much of the book was published previously in serial form, as “Chapters from My Autobiography” in the “North American Review” during 1906-1907, which does qualify as public domain.
LibriVox.org is pleased to announce the first (we think!) online public domain publication of the entire selection from the North American Review, in audio form. We are also in the process of helping Project Gutenberg include an etext version in their collection.
For the audio please see the LibriVox catalog page:

Thanks to John Greenman for preparing this audio version.
About LibriVox
LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain, and then we release the audio files back onto the net (podcast, catalog, and bit torrent). Our objective is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet.
