This is possibly the beginning of something collaborative. I'd suggest it
be run as a Newspoem and maybe added to the index on the left, and added
to as other resources becomne known.

This is a bibliography of Newspoetry not by Newspoets. For the purpose of
this bibliography, I'm presuming Newspoetry is poetry that mentions
events in the news: especially anachronistic references likely to be lost
on readers of subsequent generations, which are generally jarring when
they occur in a poem. One feels that the poet has made a mistake by mentioning
the gas crisis or burning draft cards. This list does not include
songwriters, individual poems, or political poets whose writing is
more personal and less apt to dwell on the alienation and distortion
caused by using the lens of the media to examine the world.
