Dark Things by Novica Tadic, translated from the Serbian by Charles Simic, has been shortlisted for the Best Translated Book Award in Poetry from the translation website Three Percent. Three Percent was "launched in the summer of 2007 with the lofty goal of becoming a destination for readers, editors, and translators interested in finding out about modern and contemporary international literature." The site has quickly become a clearinghouse of information on translations by U.S. publishers, and we are thrilled to be one of the ten finalists for the BTBA in Poetry. The winner will be announced on March 10, 2010.
