it is a poem.
it is a book.

Explanation:

The Works Cited entry shows the title "The Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake", edited by someone, published by a publisher (Anchor) in a year. A short story would not have such a comprehensive title of collected poetry and prose, and a single poem would not be titled as a complete collection. This entry format (author, title, editor, publisher, year) is typical for a book, especially a collection of works.

Answer:

It is a book.
