Some of Shakespeare's plays had been published individually during his lifetime but in 1623 two of his friends decided to publish a collection of as many of his plays as they could get their hands on. This collection is usually called the First Folio but its real title is "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories & Tragedies Published according to the True Originall Copies"

That's what it is called now. The name on the title page is "Mr William Shakespeares Comedies Histories & Tragedies".
Venus and Adonis was the first poem Shakespeare published, in 1593. Nobody knows how many sonnets he had written by then.
Posthumous. This means "after death". All of Shakespeare's poetry which was published at all was first published when he was alive. The same cannot be said of the plays. Some sixteen or seventeen of the plays, including such well-known ones as Macbeth, Julius Caesar, The Tempest and As You Like It were first published in the omnibus volume known as the First Folio in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death. One play was first published in 1634 as a separate publication. Of course the plays had been performed many times and were well known before Shakespeare died, but they had not been published.
Definitely NOT.
It's called the First Folio, but it is only his collected plays. It does not include his poetry.
His first published work was a picture book called Bird Adalbert, which came out in 1985.
