Customer Reviews

Pushing The Prize Cart, 2000

This annual collection of stories, poems, essays, and memoirs selected from small presses, mostly in the United States but inviting nominations from small independent publishers worldwide, is over five hundred pages of some of the best creative writing in print, excluding the novel. This edition, Pushcart Prize 2000, XXIV, carries on that tradition. Variety and diversity make for surprises. Subject matter and style are wide open. The only constant is good writing, which can be as diverse as imagination, perception, and setting. I personally have an interest in short stories, and in my opinion, what appears in the Pushcart is cutting-edge fiction _ not what's established, but what's coming.
