Congratulations to this year's National Book Critic's Circle nominees in poetry--
This year's nominees include a number of exceptional titles. Devin Johnston's Sources was profiled in these pages a few months ago, and we have a poem from that striking and now deservedly acclaimed collection below. It's also interesting that Pierre Martory has landed a nomination with the collection The Landscapist (translated by John Ashbery). Martory (1920-1998) was a close friend of Ashbery's while the poet was living in France. In a quote excerpted on the back of the jacket, Ashbery writes that he realized that Martory's work would likely be forgotten unless he translated it and helped it reach a wider audience -- which he has now certainly accomplished.
Again, congratulations to all -- the official NBCC blog reports that "winners of all the awards will be announced on Thursday, March 12, 2009, at a ceremony held at the New School in New York."
Devin Johnston, Sources
Pierre Martory (trans. John Ashbery), The Landscapist
August Kleinzahler, Sleeping It Off in Rapid City
Brenda Shaughnessy, Human Dark with Sugar
Juan Felipe Herrera, Half the World in Light

Here is a piece of good news for you; you must be very interested about the Hermes sale. As the Hermes handbags have a long history perhaps there is no person who has never heard of it. Now, it has the Hermes barking handbags. That's right –the barking from Hermes is the most desired and the most famous accessory that is known to anyone, even to those who are never interested in fashion and anything related to it.
