Pushcart Prize nomination

My publisher for One Man's Maine , Dede Cummings of Green Writers Press , has nominated the first essay in the book ("Berries") for a Pushcart Prize. Pushcart is a wonderful series of books honoring the literary contributions of small presses, now in its 42nd year of annual publication. The Press receives hundreds of nominations a year from journals and independent publishers, and I'm very pleased to be among them.
