Customer Reviews

Pushcarts are touch and go

For the most part Pushcarts are good reads. There are a few inclusions that do not deserve inclusion. THis is the case regardless of the year.

You ought to be ashamed

The Pushcart Prize is the most wonderful and rewarding annual anthology out there because, for one thing, it's the most fair--as Bill Henderson says in his introduction, there's no money here. You don't have to have written a bestseller or be in with the "New Yorker" crowd in order to be published here. All you have to do is be a good writer. Here is fiction and poetry at its rawest and purest form, from writers who write for the sake of writing, for the sheer love of it. This is a noble thing.
