Faits Divers de la Poésie Américain et Britannique

Sometimes you wish you had thought of it first:
Inspired by the anonymous "Faits Divers" which for 6 months in 1906 appeared in the French daily Le Matin, a new anonymous collective has launched its own blog of "Faits Divers," with news briefs from the American and British Poetry Worlds. 

...

Since the facts/news stories that Feneon works with are those "hot off the wire," and come in over the "telegraph lines," they are already of necessity brief and dryily "factual" "telegrammatic" style, one which influenced a great many early Modernist poets, fictioneers and artists.
