poetry collection

Gathered lyrical works

A poetry collection is a book or volume containing multiple poems, typically by a single author, gathered and arranged as a unified work.

Unlike an anthology, which compiles poems from various writers, a poetry collection usually represents one poet's voice and often explores related themes or a particular period of their work.

Her debut poetry collection won the National Book Award.

Collections may be organized chronologically, thematically, or in sequences that create meaning through juxtaposition.
