formatting the title of a poem?

[LtPage1]

is the title of a poem in quotation marks or italics?

 

I'd go with quotes.

quotation marks, I believe.

edit: unless it's the title of a book.

Quotation marks, unless, like Loki said, it is, roughly, a book: Eliot's The Wasteland would be one example. So would epic poetry like The Illiad . Now, how would one deal with a Psalm from the Bible... that, I can't remember off the top of my head.

thanks, guys.

im writing an essay analyzing Poe's "Dreamland." so no worries about it also being the title of a book.
