LitFinder Database
A helpful guide for using LitFinder Database.

You have been assigned a poet to study for poetry month.  You need to find information about this poet and be able to share it with the class.  You have always loved Shel Silverstein, so you decide to find information about him.  Although LitFinder should not be your only source, it can be a great place to find biographical information about your poet.

Start by doing a basic search for Shel Silverstein.  Since you already know he is a poet, select the Poems box to cut down on search time.

 

There are 677 results on the results page, but you are most interested in the author, not the list of poems.  Click on the author's name to get his brief biographical information.

If you would like to see a list of poems, you may also select the POEMS link for that list.
