Our Pushcart Prize nominees

We've published a lot of great stuff over the course of the past year, and had a hard time deciding which three stories, and three poems, to nominate for Pushcart Prizes. But after much back-and-forth among ourselves, we managed to do so. Here's the list:

Stories

Glen Pourciau, "Self-service"
Jason Schwartz, "Winter register"
Alix Ohlin, "Stranger things have happened"

Poems

Karen Rigby, "Black Roses"
Natalie Shapero, "Timber"
Michael Homolka, "Vertigo"

Congratulations and best of luck to all our nominees! We'll keep our fingers crossed for you right through next fall, when Bill Henderson uncrosses them, with the publication of the 2011 PP anthology.
