All told, between vox poetica and unbound CONTENT I read about a thousand poems and whittled them down to 12, 6 from vox, 6 from uC. By now you all know that picking half a dozen from the year’s poems is a lunatic mission. But the nominations are safely in the offices of the Pushcart people, so let’s just get to the good part and announce them already:
Survivors by Alan Britt
Silence by Mohana Das
23 Blocks by Kate Hammerich
Long Yellow by Scott Owens
Point Pleasant Beach in January by Jolene Paternoster
Lighting a Candle for My Father on the Anniversary of His Death by Rhonda C Poynter

Please read this fine work and join me in congratulating the nominees!
