Thank you :)
Not my own, another author's work

If you're citing another author's work, you can put the title within quotation marks. If it's from a book of poetry, the book's title should be in italics after you cite the poet and the title of the poem.
E.g.
Actually, it doesn't really matter how you format your citation, as long as you put in all the relevant information, like the poem's title, poet's name, etc. You can even put the poem's title in bold if you want.

Are Poems Italicized

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish? Are you referencing the poem title in a paper or other work? If so, then yes. If you're quoting the poem, then I would say italicize the title before quoting the actual body of the poem. Quotations would also work, but I would say that most writers italicize referenced works or titles before rather than use quotations. It's purely stylistic however.
If you're writing a poem, then you probably don't need to do anything.

RE:
Should I italicize poetry titles, put them in quotes, or do nothing?

Use quotes to refer to the title of a poem. Same goes for any work that is published as part of a larger compilation: short stories, articles, short films (probably). Works that are published on their own, like books, movies, or giant poems that are published stand-alone (I think), are underlined or italicized. I don't know about songs. Probably quotes.

The titles of short poems go in quotes. Really long poems (that are book-length) are underlined (or italicized).
A general rule to follow is that if the title would be visible on the spine of a book sitting on the bookshelf, underline it. If you would have to open that book to find the title among other titles inside, put it in quotes.

Almost all poem titles should be in quotation marks.
Especially long or epic ones like Beowulf or (I think) The Wasteland are italicized.

If you are doing an in-text citation you put the poem in quotes for example "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. Like that.

It would depend on what you mean. Are you writing a poem and want to know if you should put the title in italics? Then I would say no. If you are referring to a poem's title in a written document I would say yes.

Shorter pieces of writing are used with quotes such as poems, articles, songs. Longer pieces are underlined such as novels.
