Verse Play:
(Author's last name, year of publication, act number.scene number.line number)
Even Life itself is personified as just another actor "upon the stage" and what he portrays "full of sound and fury / Signifying nothing" (Shakespeare, 2017, 5.5.24-28).
Poem:
(Author's last name, year of publication, line number)
A parallel can be drawn between the poet's creative process and the evolution of a nation and her people, making "a poet in every American / who sees that our poem penned / doesn’t mean our poem’s end" (Gorman, 2017, lines 87-89).

Poem:
(Author's last name part number.stanza number.line number)
If part number is not available, start with stanza number; if there are no stanza divisions, then write the word "lines" prior to the first line number listed in in-text documentation. From that point on, use just the numbers.
A parallel can be drawn between the poet's creative process and the evolution of a nation and her people, making "a poet in every American / who sees that our poem penned / doesn’t mean our poem’s end" (Gorman 12.7-9).
Images and their subsequent symbolism change with time and seasons, as shown in Jun Fujita's "December Moon" (lines 3-4). The personification of the winter moon here is also hostile and decidedly not romantic (Fujita 2).
