Fiction suggestions - contemporary poetry

[Tom Dolack]

Happy New Year to the list!

Speaking of contemporary literature and online journals, on behalf of 
the editor Peter Golub, I would like to draw everybody's attention to 
the latest issue of Jacket (http://jacketmagazine.com/36/index.shtml) 
which features a very sizable anthology of contemporary Russian poetry 
in English translation, including work by Nina Iskrenko, Polina 
Barskova, Anna Gorenko, Peter Popov, Lev Rubinstein and Maria Stepanova 
among many others. Not to get into Oscar acceptance speech mode and not 
to slight any individual, but the anthology is the product of too many 
hands, particularly those of the translators, to list here, but thanks 
and appreciation go out to all involved.

The issue is not complete yet and will be added to over the next month 
or two (an advantage of online publishing), so please check back in the 
near future as well.

Best wishes to the list,
