The Pushcart Prize XXXVIII: Best of the Small Presses 2014 Edition - The Pushcart Prize Anthologies Bill Henderson 2014 edition

?A stalwart and staple of American letters.? Kirkus Reviews

Winner of honors from the National Book Critics Circle, Publishers Weekly, Poets & Writers / Barnes & Noble and others, and acclaimed by readers and reviewers internationally, The Pushcart Prize series continues to be a testament to the flourishing of American fiction, essays, memoirs and poetry in our small, independent presses. As commercial publishers consolidate into a few profit-driven conglomerates, small presses encourage literature that is lasting, important and exciting.

Edited with the assistance of over 200 distinguished Contributing Editors ? including Guest Poetry Editors Patricia Smith and Arthur Sze ? this volume includes over 60 fascinating works selected from thousands of nominations and hundreds of presses, a complete roster of today?s outstanding non-commercial publishers.

As David Ulin, Los Angeles Times Book Critic commented on last year?s Pushcart Prize: ?I?ve had a love of these anthologies for many years ? for their diversity, their range of expression and also for their commitment to writing and publishing.?
