2) How can you point out that the students read the abridged edition of Conrad's Heart of Darkness?

Answer 1

1. Individual poems' titles need to be in quotation marks. A collection of poems published as a book -- the title needs to be either italicized or underlined.

(Even though this webpage is entitled Essay or Article in a Collection..., it applies to individual poems, as well as individual essays or articles.)

2. Correct.
