| Summary |
"Pushcart Prize XLV is continuing evidence that much of today's vibrant writing appears only in small journals and book presses. The series has been selected for Publishers Weekly Carey Thomas Award, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof citation, and the Poets and Writers/Barnes and Noble 'Writers For Writers' award among others. Here are 70 authors from more than 50 presses as selected from the nominations of 220 distinguished Contributing Editors and 800 participating presses."--Amazon.com. |
