Usage Note

Poemario is a term used in literary contexts across Spain and Latin America to mean a collection of poems by a single author, equivalent to 'poetry collection' or 'book of poems'. It is preferred in formal literary criticism over the more generic libro de poemas. The word is recognised by the RAE and commonly appears on book covers, awards, and reviews in literary supplements.
