What you could do is have a list on the left side of your image (in the image). Read through the poems and find some topics that stick out to you and put that in the image as text. You could also add and about section on the main page for maybe contact information, the site's purpose, and so on. And if you wan't to get fancy, then put in a search engine so people can look up his poems more quickly (depends who's hosting the web site). If you are only going to do maybe 7 or 8 or less then instead of topics just list the titles, and a search engine wouldn't be needed.
When you go from the main site you will need a standard menu; preferably a side menu since that is the way it would be laid out in my first paragraph. For your site a graphic menu may be best. Then you could have a list of poems under one of your main topics for your visitors to choose from. You could have a back button embedded in your web page or make it the user's responsibility to hit the back button on their web browser. Have something on each page to tell them where they are. Like changing the colour of the current section that the user is at in the menu. Make sure everything is consistent. Be sure to put any copyright, contact information (if wish to), and modification date at the bottom of each page except the home page.
When you set up tables for the text areas make sure you have a side column, for the menu and maybe logo, and a main column (for the rest of the content). If you want to, you can add an extra column above the main column if you wish to add a graphic or extra menu for each page.
I hope this helps. I assumed alot of things in my explaination, so there may be some details that you may not wan't in or even details that I may have left out.

Only problem is, I've never been good at coding nor making layouts but I'm trying my best since he asked. I've finished the main image for the layout but I'm stumped as to what I should do for the text areas as well as links. I did suggest an image map (moon, rose, "Tainted Love", and the two lines from one of his poems) but I'm a little hesitant on that. I don't want this to end up getting complated. Er- so I guess I'm asking if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do I'll greatly appresiate it. Just want this to be as perfect as possible for him hehe. Thankies
All I have to work with is PSP7 but I think I've done image mapping with it before. Other then that I get out pen and paper and work it all out 
Thanks muchies
