With this week’s theme of “Endings,” we thought it appropriate to share our nominations for The Pushcart Prize 2020. For those unfamiliar, Pushcart Press produces a yearly anthology to showcase work from small book presses and little magazines. (Despite the pachyderm, we’re really a little fish, so you know.) Submissions for the anthology, however, must come from the online publication that first shared the work online. In addition, for the 2020 anthology, the work must have appeared in 2019.
While we had a limit on how many pieces we could nominate, we love all the work that we publish. Those of you who have contributed to this site in 2019 will forever remain part of our herd. And we greatly appreciate you trusting us with your beautiful, heartfelt words!
