The Delmarva Review honored six authors with nominations for a Pushcart Prize for their 2012 poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Pushcart editors invite selected nominations annually from literary journals and small presses for the prestigious national awards.
Nominations from The Delmarva Review were published in its fifth annual edition. Final selections in the national competition will be published next fall in an anthology, Pushcart Prize, Best of the Small Presses XXXVIII.
Poetry nominations include “On International Waters,” by Meredith Davies Hadaway, of Chestertown, “Sortes Alabamae,” by Temple Cone, of Annapolis, “Summa mathematica,” by Leslie Harrison, of Baltimore, and “Skyline,” by Katy Didden, of St. Louis, Missouri.
“Writing Rwanda,” an essay by Lee Slater, was nominated for nonfiction. Ms. Slater is from Norfolk, Virginia.
A short story, “Fire from a Distance,” by Margaret Moceri, of Grand Rapids, Michigan was nominated for fiction.
The Pushcart Prize has awarded outstanding literary work since 1976. It’s first collection featured short fiction by a young Ray Carver. Since then, Pushcart has discovered many talented new voices in literature. A nomination is considered a literary achievement.
