suggests or uses or says. And in his plays, we say that a phrase or word
suggests or means or implies something (all present tense verbs).
However, when you refer to an authors life you should use the past tense.
E. g. The poet Frost moved his family to England before he died in 1963.
(iv) TITLES, CITATION/QUOTATION AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
The titles of plays, novels, magazines, newspapers, journals (things that can
stand by themselves) are underlined or italicized.
E. g. Tennessee Williams play The Glass Menagerie was first staged in
Bulgaria in the 1960s.
Toni Morrisons novel Beloved provides many challenges for interpreters.
The titles of poems, short stories, and articles (things that do not generally
stand by themselves) require quotation marks.
E. g. William Blakes poem To Spring is often included in anthologies.
When quoting, quote exactly!
Quotations that constitute fewer than five lines in your paper should be set
off with quotation marks [ ] and be incorporated within the normal flow
of your text. For material exceeding that length, omit the quotation marks
and indent the quoted language one inch from your left-hand margin.
If quotation marks appear within the text of a quotation that already has the
usual double-quote marks [ ] around it (a quote-within-a-quote), set off
that inner quotation with single-quote marks [ ]. A quote-within-a-quote
within an indented quotation is marked with double-quote marks.
When quoting from a poem and using fewer than five lines, use slash marks
( / ) to indicate line breaks and incorporate the lines within the flow of your
text.
E. g. In the lines "My little horse must think it queer / To stop without a
farmhouse near," Frost creates a tone that reminds us of nursery rhymes.
However, when using more than four lines, indent the lines, use the poet's
own line breaks, and do not use quotation marks.
