My LA teacher has asked me to contribute a title page for a(inevitably crappy) poetry anthology, as well as a title, but I can't think of anything. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me with my artist's block? Cliched ideas are welcome too, because she seems to like that kind of thing.
Thanks!

Can't help you with a title, but since it's poetry, I'd play around with text if I were you - text on the cover, I mean. Different fonts, photographs of book-pages, pens, etc., etc.

Is there a general theme to the poems, or are they mixed?

They're just mixed. For instance, the page I had to submit has a short poem about cows, one about how much I hate the city we live in, and a trippy freeverse poem about nothing really.

So . . . maybe a collage, showing the variety of themes?

Well what if I had an assortment of small pictures and words scattered around, with the main focus on one bigger something(idk what) in the middle?

That sounds like a good idea. You want to show variety, but still have some sort of coherence to it.
