Pushcart Prize nominations!

[AlanSummers]

Another great haikai journal is now nominating work for the Pushcart Prize!

After two major disasters just before my birthday today, along came two big surprises!

First of all I was thrilled to have a haiku selected for commentaries:

And then I receive an email to tell me I'm nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and it's for haibun, and one that was totally rewritten, almost from scratch! More power to revision!

Plus even better!
FIVE former or regular haiku & haibun participants on Call of the Page online courses also won awards including TWO Pushcart Prize nominations for haibun. I wish I could tell you what personal challenges they've gone through, and continue to go through, with both health, and other issues.  Thank you Human/Kind journal!!!

What a birthday already! :-)

So if you haven't checked out Human/Kind please visit, please consider leaving a lovely comment on someone's poetry page too!

And check out the submissions, as the editors are great, and they look for candidates for the Pushcart Prize, Red Moon anthologies nominations, and also Touchstone nominations!
