The PUSHCART PRIZE: BEST OF THE SMALL PRESSES is an award winning series in its 35^th year of publication. It is an honor for poets to be nominated for the annual collection, since they are representative of the most outstanding work a press has published over the course of a year. Muse-Pie Press is proud and honored to have these four poets represent the kind of work Muse-Pie publishes in all of its formats (The Fib Review online journal, Featured Poet page online, chapbooks, and book publications).
