Poetry Bibliography
(Information on some of the books is sketchy, but if the books are still in print, it will be easy to capture the needed details. The
list is incomplete as far as my own library is concerned, but please delete some of the titles that don’t sound interesting to
you and add your own books to the list to make it your own. – Kaye Price-Hawkins, Priceless Literacy, Abilene, 2010)
