I can't understand why poetry would be considered nonfiction. I suppose poets might say that it's the language of emotion directly from the poet's heart, but that claim can be made for other fictional works. I see that poetry is sometimes listed as a separate category apart from fiction and nonfiction. Perhaps I'll start doing it that way.

Hi,Sorry to nitpick, but poetry is generally considered nonfiction. I myself wouldn't classify it that way, but every poetry collection I've seen generally falls into the nonfiction category. It therefore probably shouldn't be listed as fiction.
