I'm trying to track down the original copyright of Emily Dickinson's "Drowning is not so pitiful", and not having much luck. (Why yes, I am crazy enough to want a Dickinson epigraph. Yes, I know others have fought and fallen in this battle before me.) I'm aware of the collection The complete poems of Emily Dickinson, as found on bartleby.com here, but I need to know if this specific poem was published anywhere previously.
If you can find this out for me, you win my eternal gratitude, as well as other fabulous undisclosed internet prizes.
