Jim Hicks of the Massachusetts Review notes some changes to the publication, "dramatically increasing the amount we publish in translation." To that end, he notes: "Edwin Gentzler, head of the Translation Center at UMass, will be joining Ellen Doré Watson as Translation Editor; Michael Thurston, professor of English and American Studies at Smith College and an incorrigible internationalist, will be added to the Editor ranks; and Charles M. Sennott, co-founder of the Internet news service GlobalPost.com, will be joining the review as Contributing Editor. And, beginning this year, the journal will also award annually a new literary prize for translation, the Jules Chametzky Prize to the single best translations, in prose and in poetry, published within our pages."
