What is the Poetry Room?
The Poetry Room is a collection of more than 3,000 poetry books, including a range of languages, ethnicities, genders, ages, styles, and centuries. Modern and contemporary poetry is the most heavily represented.
The Poetry Room is a sampling of the poetry books in Fordham University Libraries' collection--and it's always changing. The Poetry Room will usually have a poet's most recent book, while older books are shelved in the library's main collection. Not every poet has a book in the Poetry Room.
Where is the Poetry Room?
The Poetry Room is located in Walsh Library on the Rose Hill campus. It is Room 314, which is located on the 3rd floor behind the elevators.
Can I borrow books from the Poetry Room?
Yes! You can charge the Poetry Room books out just as you would books in the library's main collection.
