You often times are looking at one when you see italics repeatedly showing up in a poem. The author is differentiating between voices.

Like this one I bookmarked from Verse Daily:
http://www.versedaily.org/2007/thepitch.shtml

And poems with two columns side by side can be read with different voices. And other times I've seen authors break up a poem into sections.

There are also poems that employ a Greek chorus.

Fleichman's book is a book of children's poetry, nothing wrong with that, but you should be aware of it before you buy it.

There is Bruce Smith's book, Songs for Two Voices, http://www.press.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/hfs.cgi/00/153619.ctl

And then there's Tennyson:

Try Paul Fleischman:

Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices
I Am Phoenix, Poems for Two Voices
