[Newspoetry] Newspoetry Bibliography

[William Gillespie]

Thanks Gavroche.

Another addition, one of my all time favorite books, feel-bad poetry from 'Nam:

Komunyakaa, Yusef > Dien Cai Dau

Incidentally, my criteria for what belongs in this bibliography was just a
tentative starting point, meant to be refined or overturned. If any of you
Newspoets have books you're passionate about that you think belong in this list,
send them on in.

Newspoetry is you, baby.
