a plea.
MLA Citation help please!!
I know I have some smart people out there on my friends list. And even one smart professor. Well, to the best of my ability, this is how I have concluded I should properly cite a poem from the Norton Anthology for my Modernisms essay:
St. Vincent Millay, Edna. "Recuerdo." 1920. The Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry, Third Edition. Volume 1: Modern Poetry. Eds. Jahan Ramazani, Richard Ellmann, and Robert O’Clair. New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 2003. 510-11.
(Except, of course, with the bottom lines indented--I don't seem to be able to format that here.)
I post this with the hope of helping others writing this same assignment who may be frustrated, but also--very much--with the hope that if anyone knows this to be wrong, they might let me know how to fix it.
My TA is a huge stickler, I think she might be married to the MLA format. She loves it for its constant changes which keep the relationship interesting while bringing in more cash from the sales of newer editions; it loves her for her eternal devotion and spread of its gospel.
The following are two sites which may help anyone in need of MLA help (6th edition). The fourth page of the second link is especially helpful in demonstrating exactly what you need to do.

http://library.mtroyal.ca/help/helpdesk/mlalit.pdf
In conclusion, PLEASE TELL ME IF I HAVE CITED INCORRECTLY!! =D (or reassure me that it's okay)
