From a book

Author Last Name, First Name. Year of Publication. "Title of Poem." In Title of Work: Subtitle of Work, edited by Editor's First Name Last Name, Edition, XXXX. Place of Publication: Publisher.

Whitman, Walt (1855) 1954. “Song of Myself.” In The Complete Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman as Prepared by Him for the Deathbed Edition with an introduction by Malcolm Cowley. Two volumes in one. Reprint edition, 62–114. Garden City, N.Y.: Garden City Books.


In the Online example - the reference is more like a secondary source as the Whitman poem appears on the Poetry Foundation website - they do allude to it being from a longer poem called Leaves of Grass which appeared in various print compilations of his work - See the second example.

In the From a Book example, you find the very same poem but can reference it more like a chapter in a book and rather than it being from Leaves of Grass it can  be from the larger book as a whole (so The Complete Poetry and Prose of Walt Whitman...). Either way is 'right'. That the person reading your work can find the poem is most important ;and all elements needed (author, date, title and source) are there.

Notes
  • If the anthology or book of poetry is an ebook add URL, DOI or Database Name.
  • Present 2 lines or more as block quotation.
  • If it has variable line lengths and indents reproduce these as well as you can.
  • For line numbers – for example used in poetry or plays - write line or lines – ie do not use l or ll.
