Thank you for your question about locating poems and poetry books. Here are some broad search strategies to find poetry books and to find full-text poems in our research databases.
For Print Books, you can search the Catalog for poetry. If you have a specific poet in mind, you can search the poet by name. If you want to browse the library's physical poetry books, you can find many of them upstairs in the 811 section.
For eBooks or criticism about specific poems, go to the Library Homepage and click on Articles to access all eBook and research databases.
(As of fall 2022, you no longer need an HFC library card (barcode) to access the library’s databases from off campus. Please use your HFC username and password to log in.)
