[Newspoetry] Newspoetry Bibliography

[Gavroche]

If this is to be collaborative...Two Bibliography additions:

NewsPoetry
Jonathan Swift  -- Complete poems
                (Nothing jars one like political references from the 1700s)
Howard Nemerov -- War Stories: Poems about Long Ago and Now

> 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.
