I love everything we publish in various ways, so it's always hard to choose what to nominate for this prize or that. In 2015 alone, Crisis Chronicles Press will have published seventeen books (three of them forthcoming) including hundreds of poems. First I narrowed down my potential Pushcart Prize nominees for this year to a couple dozen favorite poems. But I can only nominate six. I then spent hours more mulling before I finally forced myself to make some hard decisions.
So here they are, our nominees for the next Pushcart Prize.
"Creepy Dolls" by Kevin Ridgeway, from Contents Under Pressure
"Deadtime" by Susan Sheppard, from Balefire
"Let's Get It On" by Dianne Borsenik, from Thunderclap Amen
"Poem for Christian O'Keeffe" by John Dorsey, from Ghost on the Inside
"The Road" by Michael Ceraolo, from Readings / The Road
"The Fine Line of Beautiful Living" by Tracie Morell from Matilda's Battle Waltz
We've also nominated Alex Gildzen's Ohio Triangle for an Ohioana Book Award.
Good luck to you all!
