Poetry: Home

A selection of the many titles available in poetry from the Worcester County Library collection.

“Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.” — Carl Sandburg, from The Atlantic, March 1923. 

From collections compiled by major publishing houses to contemporary works released by small presses, the Worcester County Library offers a wide variety of poetic works as well as resource books for writers and readers of the form.  These selections and many more can be found in the Worcester County Library collection.
