I’m not sure how Terry Pratchett relates to poetry. There is the Annotated Alice in Wonderland, however that was seemingly more about contemporary issues at the time. I once was at a talk on Science Fiction, quite an interesting one on the authors favourites, it was though like an annotatated list of references for Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. Much as I absolutely love HHGttG I feel I missed out on how much better it actually is by not being aware of these references.

Poetry has no monopoly on allusions and lots of books allude to other books. More importantly, Pratchett's wiki has the annotations that I'm interested in 1 and which could be useful outside of poetry. 1. example: https://www.lspace.org/books/apf/soul-music.html https://www.lspace.org/books/apf/soul-music.html
