Nope, there was a listing of pynchon-related items that were corrected on 
the web by derek maus--some of ishmael reed's titles were posted under 
pynchon's list of publications, including poetry.

However, Clifford Mead's Bibliography seems to have a pynchon poem on the 
cover.
I'm sure being a Eliot fan in his younger days that he tried his hand at 
poesy.
