In last year's Pushcart Prize, editor Bill Henderson noted that the Pushcart Prize, "the small good thing, has evolved into an international prize drawing nominations from small presses around the globe." As always, the selections are made by a distinguished panel of Guest Editors and hundreds of Contributing Editors. The list of authors selected and encouraged over the decades, is immense. (An index to previous volumes is included in each edition.)The Pushcart Prize won the NBCC Sandroff Lifetime Achievement award, The Poets & Writers/ Barnes and Noble Writers for Writers citation and was named by Publishers Weekly as one of the seminal publications in American publishing history.

The Family Bible is Henderson's first collection of poetry and a rare statement of this pilgrim's journey.  His 67 poems are both personal and universal.  They are funny, bitter, eloquent, tortured, touching, wise, blasphemous, and reverent.  From Genesis to Revelation, this is the Bible that we all recognize and debate and love.

"I write because there are things I can't sing.  There are ways of writing that can't be sung.  I write because I watch," says Jeb Loy Nichols, an internationally acclaimed musician and artist, about his literary art.  In this unforgettable novel, Suzanne has arranged her life to suit her solitariness, living quietly on her untended hill farm.  Her days are a word-shy negotiation, caught between indifference and uncertainty.  Into this world comes Gertrude, a wandering donkey.  Together they form an unlikely alliance; each protecting the solitude of the other.  Suzanne and Gertrude is a tale of intermittent griefs and wonderments. How do we live, not just with each other, but with memories, with impermanence, with the inevitable melancholy of being?   Suzanne and Gertrude is a spare novel with a profound impact.

"All My Dogs dogs is exactly as the title describes, a story in chronological order, beginning in childhood, of all the dogs Henderson has loved. Some were with him for a brief period, some were part of every moment in his life and the lives of his wife and daughter. But , as silly and bold and sometimes incorrigible as all of these dogs were, each of them loved Henderson and he returned that affection wholeheartedly. He is dog person and cannot imagine a life without canine companionship. So as he writes of navigating the waters as writer and publisher, pursuing a family life, moving from one home to another, engaging in a quixotic quest to build a tower in Maine and pondering how to live the best life possible,there is always a dog at his feet or by his side.Dogs have made his life richer by their company and, just as the best writing of Herriot and Durrell,All my Dogs is a love letter in return."

Selected from hundreds of Pushcart Prize-winners, twenty-five writers-including Charles Baxter, Karen Russell, Charles Johnson and Donald Hall-tell their contemporary love tales both fiction and non-fiction, in often unsparing ways. In some there is a joyous celebration of love; in others the game is perplexing but always fascinating.

In The Pushcart Prize XXXV more than sixty selections of brilliant short stories, essays, and poetry have been picked from thousands of nominations. This is a communal effort by the Pushcart Press staff, contributing editors, and hundreds of small presses. For this edition distinguished poets Julie Sheehan and Tom Sleigh served as poetry editors. The result is an introduction to a literary world that few readers have access to, where much of today's important new writing is published, far from the commercial influence of the conglomerates. In reviewing last year's edition, Donna Seaman of Booklist commented: "A brimming, vibrant anthology-the perfect introduction to new writers and adventurous new work by established writers . . . extraordinary in its range of voices and subjects. Here is literature to have and to hold." The Pushcart Prize has been chosen for the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement recognition by the National Book Critics Circle and the Writers for Writers award from Poets & Writers / Barnes & Noble.
