What is Newspoetry?
It’s a kind of poetry codified by William Gillespie. See “The History of Newspoetry” for details about where it came from, and a concise definition. Briefly, it’s the daily practice of writing a poem about the news or events in the news. Newspoets are poets who do this — though few of us manage to write a newspoem every day. We have an email list and a website anthologizing the email list, edited originally by William and now by Joe Futrelle.
