skip,
the original rules were no poetry per se...books about
poetry, art, the poetry life, etc. But since that book is 
veritable laboratory of poetic modernism....I guess we'll let it
slide.

If we’re putting Auden in there, why not  W. C. Williams’s _Spring and  All_ 
(1923).  
In fact a great  publishing venture would be to replicate the original 
published version. There  is one by Frontier Press, but it’s a dull product. 
The original (I saw  in a Rare Books room) is light and lovely, with a 
gazelle-like font (light and  moving), etc.
