I completely disagree about poems not being stories. Cf the distinction between lyrical and narrative poetry. There are several lyrical poems in Now We Are Six Hundred, but many of the poems (eg The Death List) undeniably tell stories. I believe the best approach would be to treat the collection like Decalog 5: Wonders: some stories are valid, and others aren't. There's no need to make a ruling for the entire anthology as a whole. I don't have my copy of the book on-hand at the moment, but this shouldn't be too difficult to sort out.
