That depends on the poems. Email me a copy, then I’ll tell you. I’m really good at coming up with titles for poems.

How about using the title of one poem for the entire collection? This is a method used by many published poets–and many musicians, too. Think how many CDs are titled after one of the songs. You can put “and other poems” after the title, if you like. It could be the title of your best poem, but it doesn’t have to be. You want the most evocative title. For example, Robert Penn Warren titled one of his books “Rumor Verified,” which was a title of one of the poems but also seemed to have a larger meaning. Good luck!
