Posthumous publishing - Janet Frame's poetry
|
New Zealand writer Janet Frame died in 2004 at 79 years of age. That, however, hasn't stopped the publication of 'new' work by Janet Frame. Two previously unpublished works, a novel and a collection of poetry, have recently been released. This raises all sorts of questions about posthumous publication of literary works, and about who decides what should or shouldn't be put in the public domain. One of the people given the job of managing the literary estate of Janet Frame is her niece, Pamela Gordon, who's in Australia for the local release of the new poetry collection, called The Goose Bath.
