Congratulations to the nominees!

We have a lot to celebrate as we approach the ending of the first year of the revived Fortnightly Review, and part of that celebration has taken the form of nominating six of our installments for the Pushcart Prize! For those who don’t know, the Pushcart Press is one of the most venerable institutions recognizing the work of of small presses and literary magazines. Since 1976 they’ve been honoring the best “poetry, fiction, and literary whatnot” published by small presses every year. “Literary whatnot” is practically our middle name here at TFR, so we are proud to announce the nomination of the following authors for their work:

• Sally Ashton, “Dispatch from the Moon: Soft Landing”
• Joseph Donahue, “As the Stars Are Apart: Blaketalk”
• Amy Glynn, “Black Narcissus”
• Jeffrey Kahrs and Mete Özel, translations of poems from the Turkish by Deniz Durukan, Aylin Antmen, and Nilay Özel
• Janet Sarbanes, “The Fox in the Garden”
• Simon Perril, “The Audubon Dish”

Congratulations to all of our witty, erudite, ecstatic, despairing, eloquent, well-traveled, and well-read nominees!
