Welcome to Poets' Corner, one of the largest and oldest text resources on the web. The goal of this ongoing project is to develop a user-friendly library that is both a useful reference and an appealing place to browse and explore - and there is a lot here to explore. The collection covers nearly 7,000 works by almost 800 poets - ranging from some of the best known works in the English language to works that were never widely known or whose popularity has been obscured by time.
Since its inception in 1994, this site has grown through thousands of hours of transcription, editing and coding, through the efforts of the site Editors, and through the contributions of volunteers around the world. The collection contains items ranging sundial inscriptions to book-length works. The site is updated regularly - click here to see what's new, often with a little commentary.
For browsing and exploration, there is a Sampler of shorter works and a list of Longer works to read, Faces of the Poets to look at, and thanks to the efforts of Nelson Miller, the beginnings of a biographical dictionary, Lives of the Poets. Bob Blair also maintains several special collections - including some specially annotated works and some collections found no where else on the web, and the back archives of the Daily Poetry Break. And, if anyone is curious, there is a listing of Our Favorite Poems.
This collection is limited to works that are in the Public Domain in the United States. There is a partial list of suggested readings from more recent poets, and a short collection of works by recent poets.
(1) If your own favorite poem is missing understand that: it may still be under copyright (1923 or later in the US), which makes us unable to include it. This is a non-commercial site (i.e. no annoying pop-up advertisements) so there is no budget for licensing works still under restrictions. If a poem is past copyright, and you would like it included, please E-mail the poem, poet, and publishing information to Steve.
(2) All poems presented here, unless indicated otherwise, are believed to be past copyright restrictions in the U.S.. If you live outside the U.S., please check local copyright rules to understand what you may, or may not do with the text or images posted here.
(3) Because of the broad audience this site serves, we tend to steer away from certain material because of strong sexual or prejudicial content.
(4) You are welcome to link to any part of the collection. Every author and every poem has a unique URL and anchor tag. Please note that our index files, graphic content, and hypertext formatting are copyrighted, and may not be duplicated without permission
Stay Cautious
