ENGL 131: Intro to Poetry Writing : Books and Articles

Finding Books

Start with a keyword search in the catalog. Once you have located a relevant item, you can look at the Subjects in the record and follow those links to find related books.

Some subject headings are very broad.  To narrow your results, you can combine subject heading and keyword searching.  You can also refine your results by using the facets on the left side of the screen

"Poetry -- Criticism and interpretation"

"Aesthetics, Modern -- 20th century"

"Poetics -- History -- 21st century"

"Poetry -- Periodicals"

"Poetry -- Book reviews -- Periodicals"

Search for books By a literary author as an Author search; search for books About a literary author as a Subject search.

Use the facets on the left side of the catalog to expand your search to Duke, NC State, and NCCU Libraries.  To expand your search even further, try searching WorldCat.
