21st is usually hyphenated when spelt. Dictionaries list it as 'twenty-first'.
However, as a book/article title, or in company names, it is sometimes written as Twenty First ... as in 'Twenty First Century Poets', but, as this could be interpreted as meaning a book about 1st century poets, a hyphen would remove any ambiguity e.g. written as 'Twenty-first Century Poets' or 'Twenty-First Century Poets' (unless, of course, the book is actually about 1st century poets, in which case a better title would be 'Twenty First-Century Poets'!)

∙ 14y agoYes. An ordinal number (first, second) is hyphenated when used as an adjective or adverb. While numbers larger than 10 may be properly replaced by the numeral, any written-out numbers are also hyphenated. Example : "It was the twenty-fifth anniversary." Example : "It was the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary." Example : "There were thirty-one runners. I finished twenty-fifth." Example : "There were 31 runners, and I finished 25th."
