: Re: Is an MLA citation needed for a broad description of a poem's theme? I'm trying to figure out whether I need to cite these poems or not. â€œOut, Outâ€”â€ has its morbid description of

â€œOut, Outâ€”â€ has its morbid description of a young boy bleeding out and its underlying theme of death. â€œNothing Gold Can Stayâ€ has its pessimistic theme that nothing beautiful can stay beautiful.

If the text you have included within the quotation marks above are merely the poems' titles (which I assume they are), then according to MLA you would write the in-text citation as follows:

Out, Outâ€” (Author) has its morbid description.... etc.

N.B. titles need to be italicized, but lines of poetry need to be contained within quote marks.

Have a look at this MLA style guide too.

Hope that helps.
