I’m teaching a poetry course on FORMS and I used that link to the Sestina. POETS.org is a treasure trove of resources!

As a librarian, I love picking books myself. I’ll take suggestions — even from the publishers — but it’s fun to do. My indulgence is to have the books pre-prepared, so all I have to do is display and shelve them.
I order extra poetry this way
