Selected Poems Question

[hudwrite]

If you were going to publish a collection of selected poems including unpublished poems, would you title your book Selected Poems, New and Selected Poems, or would it matter? Thanks.

I would think the best choice would be "selected poems" because when you say that I think it implies that you are selecting from both old and new poems, published or unpublished that you have written.

i concur.

Does that mean that any volume I should have published containing a limited number of my 450 poems that contains 1 or more of the 15 Poems I've had published in Magazines/Journals would have to be subtited (Selected Poems)?

I thought that such terms were used ONLY for publishing short "Selections of Poems" that had been PUBLISHED in previous BOOK Volumes.

Just wondering,
