Pushcart Prize
Nominations

Ancient Paths has once again been invited to submit up to six nominations for The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses.

The Pushcart Prize has reprinted over 2,000 selections from more than 400 presses.  Selections are made with the help of over 200 distinguished contributing editors.  If an author's work is selected for publication by Pushcart Press, that author will receive a free, clothbound copy of the 600 page publication.  It is considered an honor simply to be nominated.   Presses will be notified in April if any works are selected for reprinting.

To read the works of nominees not selected for inclusion in the online archive, order a copy of the publication.

And this year's (2006) nominees are...
