Summary
"The Pushcart Prize is the only annual anthology to exclusively showcase the very best writing from America's alternative literary presses. Each year contributing editors, whose ranks include the most important writers of today, along with hundreds of small presses, nominate thousands of stories, poems, essays and memoirs for inclusion in Pushcart's collection. This unique submissions process ensures a diversity of writing unmatched by any other anthology. This year's gathering includes work by Brian Doyle, Carolyn Forché, George Saunders, Joyce Carol Oates, Ye Chun, Andrew Solomon, Philip Connors, Louisa Ermelino, Jim Shepard, and many more established and new writers representing 53 presses."--Back cover.
