    It has been suggested recently that we could use an extra sort category for Nationality.
    It is possible if one is reading a poem with the poet's nationality indicated to click on that nationality from that page and find others.

    It is also possible to click on the word poets on a page heading and then choose from on of the 5 main global divisions for searching but there does not appear to be a direct way of searching from the home page yet.
    Unless one of you can point me in the right direction

    Nartionality

    two small questions: is it always clear, the nationality of the poet, and is it always helpful without more information...for example a Russian national poet, under the Czars before the revolution, under the communist government of the USSR, after the breakup of the Communists governments in the East. Then might the reader- the young reader especially- need a bit more than the nationality to aid understanding?

    Exceptions

    Exceptions are there but about many of the poets we can say they are either French, Russian, Indian or etc.If language category is also included, our search will become more direct
