The public library should always be your first line of action. I discovered his poetry there years ago. Also, try http//:www.salmonpoetry.com for his latest book of poetry, I Live By The Invisible, that is now available.

I concur -- asking for assistance at libraries should help you reach your objective.

Bradbury's poetry books are usually harder to find than his novels and story collections; I may be wrong, but I believe they are all out of print.

You know, out of curiosity, I did some looking around on the internet as well and had the same luck (or lack of) as you, hula. But then again, I am a purist when it comes to reading Bradbury's works, and prefer to experience them from actual books you can actually hold in your hands.

You also may want to consider checking out some used bookstores; I have seen his poetry volumes in the really good used shops. Try to avoid the used bookstores that seem to cater to simply grocery store paperbacks, though. Perhaps you have a friend who knows of the more eclectic shops that specialize in harder to find books.

Good luck!

I haven't been that good lately on getting to the correct websites with web names that work.
But try this one below...
It lists, among others stuff, probably all of the titles of Ray's poetry. But it also tells you which ones appeared originally in other publications, for instance magazines or newspapers, with names and dates. So maybe you can try finding some of the original publications if you can't find the books. Hmm, but that maybe sounds just as difficult...

"They Have Not Seen the Stars," the complete volume of Ray B's collected poetry, is already being sold on ebay direct from the publisher. It should also be available on Amazon.com for purchase in the next week or two, if it isn't already. The volume contains OVER 400 POEMS! I believe it's 29.95.

Hope this helps!

Just received my long-awaited copies of Ray Bradbury's newest poetry collection, I Live By The Invisible (new and selected poems), in the post today!! The cover is remarkable. So far my favourites are "To Ireland...","I Always Carry The Invisible,"The Woman on the Lawn," and "I Have Endured Much To Reach This Place." I order my copies from http://www.salmonpoetry.com, but I've seen where you can order from amazon.com as well.
This is his first collection put out by an Irish publisher, as far as I know.
