FINDING BOOKS OF AND ABOUT POETRY

 

To find books of criticism about poetry, do a Subject search in OSCAR, the library's catalog.  To find books about a particular poet, type the author's name, surname first (for example --  Kipling, Rudyard). OSCAR will now show you the books we have about the author.  Look especially for the ones that say "Criticism and Interpretation" after your author's name.

To find the books of poetry written by a poet, do an Author search in OSCAR.  Type the author's name with the surname first (for example -- Kipling, Rudyard) to see a list of all the books that we have written by that author.
