We may not do lists here at The Rumpus, but that doesn’t stop us from pointing out when people connected to us get put on them. The NY Times has released its list of 100 Notable Books of 2011, and right there on the first page are Matthew Zapruder’s Come On All You Ghosts and Tracy K. Smith’s Life On Mars, which was a Rumpus Poetry Book Club selection back in May. Congratulations to everyone included in the list.
