Thanks for the tip about Jeff Mangum, Alex.  I'll check out his stuff 
one of these days.  As for "jump-cut poetry," it's been a standard term 
in my poetics taxonomy for a decade or more.  "Jump-cut" has been around 
longer than that but I may have been the first critic to use it to 
designate a single large kind of poetry.  It's paired with surrealistic 
poetry in my system under what I call "idiological poetry"--because it 
and surrealistic poetry mainly play games with conventional logic, in my 
opinion.  Feel free to use the term--I never got around to trademarking it.

all best, Bob
