Poems for/with/about LZ
This list is generally restricted to poets who
were contemporaries of LZ and poems composed during his lifetime or in response
to his death. It would be of interest to list all original journal
publications, although for the most part that information is not readily
available to me. The list is certainly incomplete, so suggested additions are
appreciated.
