Kevin, Gail, Julie, Bob and I are pleased to announce Light’s 2014 nominees and runners-up for the Pushcart Prize. (In a perfect world, they would all have been nominated--but there's a six-entry limit.) We hope you'll find time this week to revisit these wonderful poems and one essay--even though there's not a turkey among them.
