In libraries world-wide, poetry is assigned to the topic literature. Materials classified as literature are in Dewey decimal class 800. Despite the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 virus, the TZHS Library Media Center has access to many on-line resources that will support your poetry analysis research.

Select a poet who interests you. Once you have selected a poet, read five to eight of the poet’s works in order to reach an “informed judgment” on their techniques and style.
