[New-Poetry] Nat'l Book Award 2007 nominees, Poetry

[AlMaginnes at aol.com]

I say this every time it seems, but with most of the poetry in this country  
being published by small presses, why are the prizes always so loaded with New 
 York presses. I don't have a quibble about any of the nominees, although I 
think  Kirby is way overrated, but did Pittsburgh or Copper Canyon or Arkansas 
or any  of the many, many other small presses around the country not publish 
any books  worthy of being in the finalists. I'm just not ready to accept that 
New York has  cornered the quality in the poetry world.
