There's a most excellent poem in the October 2009 issue of Poetry by William Hathaway. "Today" begins "Today a celebrity chimpanzee went postal, / tearing up a woman’s face in Connecticut." You can read the poem on Poetry's Web site.
While digging around for some more information about Hathaway I discovered that a William Hathaway published a book of poems titled A Wilderness of Monkeys in 1975. Not sure if it's the same William Hathaway of the chimp face tearing poem or not. If anyone knows, please fill me in.

It indeed is the same Hathaway. He's the author of eight poetry collections total, spanning Ithaca House, LSU Press, and the University of Florida press.
