Aren't sure if poetry is for you? Why not take a chance and read something new. Not sure where to start?  Most poetry in libraries is in the nonfiction section. As many poems were factual, they were classed as nonfiction during the introduction of the Dewey Decimal System. 

Visit the library at any time and we can show you where the poetry is. I'm sure there is something for everyone!
