Chicken House Press Nominates Four Short Story Authors for Pushcart Prize
The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses series, published every year since 1976, is one of the most honoured literary projects in America - including Highest Honours from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Since 1976, hundreds of presses and thousands of writers of short stories, poetry and essays have been represented in their annual collections.
The Pushcart Prize has been a labour of love and independent spirits since its founding. It is one of the last surviving literary co-ops from the 60's and 70's and Chicken House Press is pleased to make its first nomination from the 2023 catalogue.
Nominations include Crystal Randall Barnett for Glass Panes, Daryl Bruce for The Salmon Son, and Noa Padawer-Blatt for The Magician and the Acrobat - all of which were included in the short story anthology Small Town Summer Nights (April 2023). Also nominated is Ace Baker for My Singapore Garden, The Killing Jar, and Menos Coca, Más Cacao from his short story collection How to Make a Killing Jar (August 2023).
Copies of each story have been sent to the Pushcart Committee for consideration. Big thanks to each author for allowing Chicken House Press to be the vehicle to share these stories with the world.
