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

[AlMaginnes at aol.com]

Kirby's poems are, for me, highly entertaining the first time I read them,  
but don't give me much reason to come back for seconds. Kind of a less  
scholarly Goldbarth. 
 
Speaking of whom, I would certainly have been happy to see his new and  
selected THE KITCHEN SINK from Graywolf get a nod. Also, Leslie Adrienne  Miller's 
The Resurrection Trade, also from Graywolf. Philip Terman's Rabbis of  the Air 
from Autumn House is a delight and deserves more attention than  it's 
getting. Rebecca McClanahan's Deep Light: New and Selected from Iris Press  is 
wonderful. Give me an hour or two and I'll think of  others.
