We are pleased to announce our nominations for this year’s Pushcart Prize Series in the areas of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and translation.

I really enjoyed the pieces by Giddings and Mazza. Outstanding picks.
Ditto Sam, all wonderful pieces. Egan’s poem is sensual, light, moving and revelatory–Satie is with the reader!
