Last year’s Meridian fiction and poetry editors, Aja Gabel, George David Clark, and Paul Legault, have made their Pushcart nominations for the forthcoming edition. Of course, hundreds of other literary magazines are doing the same thing … but we wish our authors good luck in making the final cut:
Poetry Nominations:
Alice Notley, “Diary Entry,” Issue 23
Carl Phillips, “The Grass Not Being Flesh, Nor Flesh the Grass,” Issue 22
Karen Rigby, “Nightingale & Friends,” Issue 23
Lindsay Turner, “[today happens as an urgent letter],” Issue 23
Fiction Nominations:
Nahal Suzanne Jamir, “In the Middle of Many Mountains,” Issue 23
Alyssa Knickerbocker, “When No One Rakes,” Issue 23










Really, Carl Phillips? Keep exceeding my expectations, nominators. For shame.
