This just in–our own Professor John Weir has been nominated for a Pushcart!

Here’s the catch: his short story “Starting From Paumonak” doesn’t come out in Epiphany for a few more weeks, so you can’t read it just yet–you’ll just have to stay tuned to find out when it drops!

The Pushcart Prizes celebrate the best work published in small presses over the course of a year. The annual anthology resulting from the prize is already itself of great renown, but also the Pushcart Prize series itself has been honored with the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Book Critics Circle in 2005,^[12] and the Poets & Writers/Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers award in 2006.

If you think this is a big deal (and you’re right that it is) you should also check out what else our faculty are doing:
