Mrs Porter, Thank you very much for your response. In 1919 these two stanzas (nine lines) of poetry by Skipwith Cannell (Nocturnes V and VI) are thought to have been set to music for voice and piano by the British composer Peter Warlock (1894-1930). The Peter Warlock Society, of which I am vice-chairman, and which has a current membership of about 230, exists to foster interest in his life and work. We are interested in printing a booklet containing the words of all 123 of Warlock's songs for solo voice and piano. The booklet, of which we would envisage a print of no more than 100 or 110 copies, would be solely for the use of our own members, to whom it would be offered at cost price: it would not be retailed or made available outside our membership. So we should like to reprint these two stanzas in our booklet. What you say about these poems being in the public domain is thus very helpful to us. However, although they were originally published in the magazine Poetry in, I believe, Chicago in 1913, they were republished in Des Imagistes in London as well as New York in 1914. So, if you hold any residual foreign rights to these two stanzas of your father's, we should be most grateful for your kind permission to include them in our booklet, and we would of course include an acknowledgment. If we should apply to someone else, could you very kindly let me know to whom?
Kind regards, David Lane (davidn.lane@virgin.net), 6 Montagu Square, London W1H 2LB, England
