What is a body of poetry called?

A body of poetry can be called several things, depending on the context:

* Collection: This is a general term for any group of poems put together. It can be a single author's work, or a collection of poems on a specific theme or by different authors.

* Anthology: Similar to a collection, but usually implies a wider range of poems from various authors, often curated around a particular topic or period.

* Cycle: This term is used when the poems are interconnected in some way, either by theme, narrative, or a common character.

* Sequence: This refers to a series of poems that are intended to be read together, often with a clear narrative or thematic structure.

* Canon: This refers to a body of work that is considered to be the most important or influential within a certain tradition or period.

* Corpus: This is a more academic term, referring to a complete collection of a poet's work.

The best term to use depends on the specific context and the nature of the poetry itself.
