"One Core and Another," an original poem by Catherine Hammond, Tempe, AZ (published June 2002)

"That Day," an original prose poem by Michael Hettich, Miami Shores, FL (published April 2002)

"Cartoon Thought Balloons," an original poem by David Thornbrugh, Seattle, WA (published April 2002)

"We had a tough time this year," says Sellman. "There were so many good manuscripts to pick from, including both fiction and poetry areas. We wish we could have nominated more."

The Pushcart is one of the largest literary awards available, distinguishing short stories, poems and essays published by America's small presses and magazines. Publishers Weekly named the Pushcart among the "most influential in the development of the American book business over the past century and a quarter."
