Pomelo Begins to Grow has been included in the Notable Children’s Books of 2011 by The New York Times, which quoted their August 19 review, saying “‘A baby elephant’s growth spurt also spurs worries. Funny, smart, and idiosyncratic, graceful and intuitive in a way that feels as much dreamed as written,’ our reviewer Bruce Handy said.”
Two Copper Canyon titles also made the list of 100 Notable Books of 2011: Come On All You Ghosts (“Much of the poetry here, displaying a consistent stillness and confidence, is the strongest of Zapruder’s career.”) and Space, In Chains (“What may be the most ambitious, and disturbing, of Kasischke’s eight books of poems strives to comprehend first and last things.”) Congratulations to our notable publishers!
