On Thursday, the National Book Foundation also announced the poetry longlist, with nominees including Douglas Kearney’s “Sho,” Hoa Nguyen’s “A Thousand Times You Lose Your Treasure” and Desiree C. Bailey’s “What Noise Against the Cane.” The foundation has already released longlists of 10 for young people’s literature and translation and on Friday will publish the fiction longlist.
