Granger's World of Poetry

For over a century, Granger's® has been the definitive source in English for locating a poem in anthologies on library shelves. First published in 1904, The Columbia Granger's® Index to Poetry is now in its 12th edition.

In 1999, Granger’s went online as The Columbia Granger’s World of Poetry.  Included in the online version are a series of key Columbia poetry titles:

  • The Classic Hundred Poems -- a fully annotated anthology of the one hundred poems that, in the Granger's® database, are most frequently anthologized

  • The Top 500 Poems -- an annotated anthology of the 500 poems that, in the Granger's® database, are most frequently anthologized
  • The Columbia Granger's® Index to Poetry in Anthologies, editions 8–12 – an index to poetry in anthologies

  • The Columbia Granger's® Index to Poetry in Collected and Selected Works, editions 1-2 -- an index to poems in the other main type of poetry book found on library shelves

  • The Columbia Granger's® Index to African-American Poetry -- an index to 65 volumes of the best poetry by African Americans
