The New Verse News solicits and publishes poetry of a decidedly liberal political bent on current events and topical issues.
If The Guardian were written in verse, it would be The New Verse News. The site is updated every day or two with a funny or a moving or an infuriating or an ironic poem on a topic like the war in Iraq, the Academy Awards, New Orleans, the Patriots Act, torture, Bush and Cheney, human rights, as well as on those odd and idiosyncratic news stories that make us smile or scream.
Superb poets such as Rochelle Ratner, Bill Costley, Simon Perchik contribute to The New Verse News.
