Columbia Granger's® World of Poetry Online
www.columbiagrangers.org
Beginning with the publication of Granger’s® Index to Poetry in 1904, the Granger’s name has been synonymous with the definitive resource for locating a poem in English. Now available on the web, Columbia Granger’s World of Poetry Online is a comprehensive database of poetry with nearly 300,000 poem citations and 30,000 full-text poems, which can be searched by author, author category, subject, words in complete poem and excerpts, words in title, first line, and last line. Also included are commentaries on the poems, biographies of their authors, and an extensive glossary – all inter-linked. The database is updated quarterly, typically with 3,000+ new poems in full-text, additional commentaries and biographies, new letters from the editor William Harmon, and transcripts of his interviews with noted poets.
