What classic poem most inspired you in your life? This is the place to collect (and more importantly REmix!) public domain poems by your favorite old dead poets.

The Carpe Diem Society is HitRECord's own tribute to the "dead poets". All the dead poets are automatically members, and so are we HitRECorders who appreciate and REmix them. (Check out our growing Members Gallery http://hitrecord.org/records/62527)

You can contribute any public domain poem by any famous Dead Poet. You can also contribute any readings you want to do of these poems, REmixes of the text, or original RECords that are specifically inspired by public domain poetry.

To give this *some* level of coherence, let's limit it a bit further to English language,poetry from the time of Shakespeare to 1923. The reason for 1923 is because, if the poem was first published before that year it's probably public domain, but it's always good to do a bit of research on the poem and the author.

(This collab is not intended for general poetry, though. This is specifically public domain poetry and REmixes of it. Please continue to contribute all those other amazing poems to "The Poetry Project" collab: http://hitrecord.org/records/28758)
