2009 Pushcart Nominations

We filed all our papers on time, but we have been slow getting the word out. Nevertheless, we are pleased to announce our 2009 Pushcart Nominees are:

*Aimee Baker, "The Reading of the Fates of Love and Death" (CN11)
*James Hoch, "Wedding Pinata" (CN12)
*Patrick Lawler, "Dearest Akeem Benedicta" (CN12)
*Andrew Farkas, "The Ballad of Ailin' Alan Smithee" (CN12)
*Matthew Kirkpatrick, "Throw Him In The Water" (CN11)
*Aurelie Sheehan, "Gentle Future" (CN11)

It is always difficult to make these choices, and we were gratefully reminded, as we followed our discussion, just how ardently we hold each piece we've published. For that, thanks to all of our contributing authors, past and future.
