Poetry for Students is designed specifically to meet the curricular needs of high school and undergraduate college students studying poetry.

For each poem, students will discover:
- An overview essay on the poem - An analysis of the work's construction and form - An examination of key themes addressed in the poem - A discussion of the historical and cultural context in which the poem was composed - Selected criticism on the poem or poet - Brief author biography
Some of the poems covered in volume 23 include:
- "Aurora Leigh" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning - "Pine" by Kimiko Hahn - "Song: To Celia" by Ben Jonson - "Lost in Translation" by James Merrill - "Lepidopterology" by Jesper Svenbro
