A Pushcart Nomination

 The editors at Radar Poetry have bestowed the additional honor of a Pushcart nomination for my poem "Dendrochronology." Here's their slate of six nominees for the 2021 publication.

The Pushcart Prize champions small presses and magazines by inviting editors to nominate up to six works they have published over the current year. Wikipedia offers an interesting summary.

Since its founding in 1976, the "Pushcart Prize Best of the Small Presses" anthologies have included work from top writers and newcomers, from established literary journals to those less known. The competition is extreme, and the expectation of actually winning the recognition of being published in the anthology is quite low.

All the more reason to celebrate with me this nomination! It would indeed be wonderful for any of Radar Poetry's six nominees (and excellent recognition of this energetic and creative poetry magazine) to be included in the 2021 Pushcart anthology. Let's hope.
