The library’s newly acquired ebook collections include many books of poetry. In Ebrary, you’ll find Chinua Achebe’s Collected Poems and The Trouble with Poetry by Billy Collins. Caribbean Literature is a great source for poetry collections such as Over the Roofs of the World by Olive Senior. Try searching NetLibrary for a wide variety of renowned poets — Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Frost, Phyllis Wheatley, and Carl Sandburg, to name a few. Browse these collections or search for a favorite.
Of course, poetry that is free of copyright restrictions is easy to find online. One comprehensive source is Bartleby.com/verse/ – search by author or first line, or browse the many anthologies and other collections.
