[New-Poetry] 20th. Century in Poetry

[Alan C Golding]

The Merrill poem to which David referred a few days back is "Days of
1964."  In the same volume, *Nights and Days*, he also has a poem called
"1939."

Others:

Charles Olson, "May 20, 1959" and "May 31, 1961," in the Collected
Poems; "Maximus, March 1961--I" and "II,"December, 1960," "February 3rd.
1966  High Tide," etc., etc.--there's a ton of Maximus poems that use
the date as title, though that date very often has no particular
resonance beyond marking the date of composition.
