I am grateful that my poems have found their way into the thoughts, writings, and reflections of readers around the world. I value every instance in which my work has been shared, quoted, or referenced in academic publications, newspaper pieces, articles and blog posts, university theses, online platforms, educational institutions, travel guides, and other respected spaces. Your careful and accurate attribution means a great deal to me.

To support clarity and proper citation, I have prepared this curated series that presents the titles and publication details of the works from which many frequently quoted lines originate. I hope this effort helps readers locate each line in its rightful context.

This fourth post concludes the series, shared in several parts due to Goodreads’ character limitations. The earlier sections of this collection can be found here:
