Pushcarts are touch and go

For the most part Pushcarts are good reads. There are a few inclusions that do not deserve inclusion. THis is the case regardless of the year.
You ought to be ashamed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The Pushcart Prize is the most wonderful and rewarding annual anthology out there because, for one thing, it's the most fair--as Bill Henderson says in his introduction, there's no money here. You don't have to have written a bestseller or be in with the "New Yorker" crowd in order to be published here. All you have to do is be a good writer. Here is fiction and poetry at its rawest and purest form, from writers who write for the sake of writing, for the sheer love of it. This is a noble thing.
