1138. Using Quotation Marks with Titles

The titles of short pieces of literature, such as poems and short stories, should be set off with quotation marks. Put quotation marks at both ends of the poem and short story titles.

We read the story “The Telltale heart” in literature class.
My favorite poem by Robert Frost is called “The Road Not Taken.”

Use quotation marks around the title of a poem or short story.

It’s your turn. Put quotation marks into this sentence. I enjoy reciting the poem Paul Revere’s Ride. Did you figure it out? Good for you!
