Answer 1

When citing a poem from a collection that features several authors and has three editors, the name of the author of the poem should appear after the title of the poem in the citation.

The typical format for this citation in MLA style would look like this:

Author of the Poem. "Title of the Poem." Title of the Collection, edited by Primary Editor's Name, et al., Publisher, Year, Page range.

So the author's name comes first, followed by the title of the poem, then the collection, and then the editors.
