Anthologies are almost always made up of poems that have already received publication in journals or in book form. Occasionally the editors of an anthology will commission poetry for it, or invite specific established writers to send them something to consider for it.
People co-writing poetry isn’t common, I suppose because poetry tends to be so personal, but there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t submit co-written poems to magazines, in the usual way.
Hey! So for my english class, I need to creat a poem anthology that includes 15 poems… I have nine figured out. I don’t really read poetry but if you could suggest some good ones… that would be great! I have these ones:
- "Perfect" Written By: Cody Simpson
- "How Do I Love Thee" Written By: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- "Long Live" Written By: Taylor Swift
- "Passion and Love" Written By: Paul Laurence Dunbar
- "Who has seen the wind?" Written By: Christina Rosetti
- "Bless The Broken Road" Written By: Bobby C. Boyd, Jeff Hannah, Marcus Hummons
- "Where The Sidewalk Ends" Written By: Shel Silverstein
- "Sweet Endings Come And Go, Love" Written By: George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)
- "Where Are You Now?" Written By: Justin Bieber
My english teacher said we are aloud to use song lyrics as poems so I included those. If you have any other suggestions that would be great 
"The Road Not Taken" By Robert Frost
"Leisure" By WH Davies
"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goodnight" By Dylan Thomas
I’ve tried (author last name, page) but it was marked as wrong. Would I have to in-text cite the author of the anthology or something of that sort? I just want to know for later use so I don’t make the same mistake again. Thanks in advance.
@Vincent: I tried that but my teacher marked it as wrong. 
The best person to ask is your teacher or the manual that is recommended for the class. I can think of two possibilities:
First, MLA allows a poem to be cited as you did, as a short work in an anthology, but it is customary to use line number rather than page number (Poet line#). For drama, it would be (Author Act.scene.line)
Second, Chicago Manual [which includes both author-page (MLA) and author-date (APA) styles] now recommends that the cite be to the anthology, so the cite would be (Poet line# in Editor page#).
The first one make more sense to me, but I’m not the decision-maker here.
I wrote two version of a book that is a sequel that inspired some people was really well received, but it had no cussing while the sequel does have some cussing in just three of the poems, so, I made a clean version without cussing.
Should I publish the one with or without cussing or try to publish both?
(btw it’s self published as an ebook and the first book was named: Gay Enough)
Yes, Charles
So, are you asking us if you should censor yourself?

I’m trying to find a poem I read in a poetry anthology book but can’t remember what it was. It was something about a business man who might be seen as just an average working guy, but then at the end of the work day, he goes home and his kids think he’s the greatest dad in the world. It was in a book of classic poems, but I can’t find it again. Anybody know what the poem is?
Maybe you’ll find it here.
The slam poets Rachel McKibbens and Marty McConnell perform together as "The Piper Jane Project". They wrote a poem called "Spine" that was on the IndieFeed podcast a while back. I would really love to use this as a forensics piece, but I need a published source. Is there a book or anthology with an ISBN number where I can get the exact transcript to use for competition?
Slam poetry often doesn’t have a definitive text (for a number of reasons).
If you can cite an actual documented performance (a link to YouTube is usually good enough) that should satisfy most authentication boards.
how is conflict shown in ‘not my business’ and ’search for my tongue’?
Help me plan, please please.
i dont know…but if you choose my answer, You get 3 points back!
and what reason?
I have this exam tomorrow so bare with me with my answer lol.
You could use Limbo for its repetition
But I would probably recommend ‘What were they like’ as it shows the difference in society before and after as well as TS shows society today. You could also mention about TS’s structure and layout. Its all broken which could connote today’s society and how it is just as equally disjointed.
Also the reader leaves the poem asking whether or not the Poem agree’s with the rich way of life or not? As he describes the bin men as ‘Gargoyle’ and ‘Quasimodo’ although on the surface (physically) the poet and his word choice may come across negative a gargoyle actually got rid of evil spirits as bin men prevent/get rid of disease and rubbish etc. You could compare this point with vultures also saying that they also prevent rubbish and bad disease by eating ‘dead flesh’
Both of the poems TS and What were they like also use oxymoronic uses such as (Two scavs-) Plastic Blazers and in WWTL, Bitter sweet. – plastic comes across as cheap whereas a blazer is something a high standard/class person wears. I’d like to thing the bitter sweet oxymoron is more obvious to be explaining. Just incase you don’t know and oxymoron is putting two contrasting things/words together. Hope I helped.
I have to compare how feelings are respresented in Simon Armitage’s ‘Kid’ to a Carol Ann Duffy poem, and two Pre-1914 poems from the AQA English GCSE Anthology. What poems should I compare it to? Thanks!!
Kid is not about parent/son relationships! It’s about Robin ditching Batman! The feelings is expresses are about growing up, growing old, becoming independent. It’s got quite a sarcastic tone to it. You could try comparing it to Before You Were Mine, as both poems explore feelings of separation from an adult figure, although Before You Were Mine is much more loving in tone.
For pre 1914 poems, you could use My Last Duchess (again, the speaker in the poem is referring to someone who is not there any more, his dead wife). And perhaps On My First Sonne. All the feelings in all four of those poems are very clear and easy to write about.
Thank goodness they’ve got rid of the anthology for next year!
