Praise for The Pushcart Book of Twenty-First Century Poetry and Prose:

This selection of nearly 100 small press poems and prose works from the past 25 years of The Pushcart Prize (selected from 1,500) is so just plain wonderful, it will restore your faith in the written word in these dark times. You will jump up and sing! - Bill Henderson (prose)

In these poems, I often find myself floating in a state of such passionate musical intoxication. - Philip Schultz (poetry)
