Brynn,

The precise number is unknown or would, at best, be a guess. I know of some 50+ poems for which he is known best but there are several, perhaps many more that were written as acrostics in journals or diaries of his friends. These would not include revisions or poems that were modified beyond recognition of the original. Add to this that there are still some that are attributed to him but unproven or not yet authenticated. Sorry...

Regards,
