Columbia Granger's
Poetry Database contains works of poetry found in anthologies,
and volumes of collected works and selected works for individual poets.
Currently, there are over 500,000 poem citations and nearly 70,000 poems
in full text (with thousands of additional poems in full text to be
added with each update). Also included is bibliographic information for
1,800 anthologies. Supplemental information includes over 1,100
commentaries and some 560 biographies.
Hyperlinking exists throughout the
commentaries, biographies, and poem full text. Users can easily jump
from poems to relevant commentary or author biographies when
appropriate. A glossary is also provided, giving users detailed
definitions for almost 200 poetry specific terms.
