As Booklist's Donna Seaman commented on edition #43, "a harvesting of
the year's finest stories, poems and essays...a deeply provocative and
artistically resplendent anthology." This current edition is further
proof that important and exciting writing is found in small presses
scattered around the country and the world.As the variety of selections
in Pushcart Prize XLIV indicates, it is an eclectic and constantly
changing community. Over 70 authors are included from more than 50
presses. The Pushcart series is winner of The Sandrof Lifetime
Achievement Award from The National Book Critics Circle, and the Poets &
Writers/Barnes & Nobel Writers For Writers citation, plus many other
awards. Here are 600 pages of literary brilliance from both new and
established authors, featuring traditional and experimental work.
