Since 1976, the
Pushcart Prize has recognized outstanding work from small presses, spanning across all literary genres, from fiction to poetry to the essay. The award is given yearly, and it is with great pleasure that we announce that
Michael Waters and
Deborah Brown have both been recognized with the Pushcart Prize this year. Michael Waters's poem "Beloved," from his collection
Gospel Night, and Deborah Brown's poem "Walking the Dog's Shadow," from
her collection of the same name, will appear in this year's Pushcart Prize anthology, edited by novelist Bill Henderson. The anthology will appear in stores in November. Once again, congratulations to Michael and Deborah on this tremendous honor!
