We don’t order much poetry (since our main reader, Mr. Murphy, died) but to keep in mind good names the following were nominated for 2014 by the National Book Foundation:
Louise Gluck, Spencer Reece, Mark Strand, Edward Hirsch, Claudia Rankine, Fanny Howe and Maureen N. McLane
The awards ceremony will be held November 19th and hosted by Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket).
