Paul Elie's "Reinventing Bach" and Daniel Mendelsohn "Waiting for the Barbarians" were among the finalists in criticism. The other nominees were Mary Ruefle's "Madness, Rack, and Honey," Marina Warner's "Stranger Magic" and Kevin Young's "The Grey Album." In poetry, the finalists were David Ferry's "Bewilderment," Lucia Perillo's "On the Spectrum of Possible Deaths," Allan Peterson's "Fragile Acts," D.A. Powell's "Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys" and A.E. Stallings' "Olives." No cash prizes will be given to competitive winners, to be announced Feb. 27. But $1,000 will be divided between Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, winners of a lifetime achievement prize for their "groundbreaking work in feminist criticism." William Deresiewicz, who writes for The Nation and The New Republic among others, will receive an honorary award for "excellence in reviewing."
