PUSHCART NOMINATIONS : 2020
It’s the end of the year. Big sigh.
And before we kick this flaming trash bag of year to the curb though, we’d like to draw attention to our very first set of nominations for The Pushcart Prize.
Know this: it wasn’t an easy decision. Every piece that goes into The Racket Journal is beloved by our small, but crack, team of readers and picking between them was the equivalent of deciding on which of our children, if we had them, we’d send into the ominous gladiatorial pits of the soon-to-come dystopian reality.
It was, to say the least, a hard go.
But we did it, and we are so excited to announce our six authors eligible for the 2020 Pushcart Prize.
