My Poem “I’ve Come at Last to Anhedonia” nominated for 2024 Pushcart Prize in Poetry

On By Mike U.In Poetry

I’m honored and thrilled to announce my poem “I’ve Come at Last to Anhedonia” has been nominated for the 2024 Pushcart Prize in Poetry. This is a dream come true for me, and I’m beyond humbled. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Michelle Ayon Navajas, Editor at Hotel by Masticadores, for believing in my writing and for her incredible support. What’s especially exciting for me is the list of the other five nominees submitted by Michelle. I’m familiar with all five, and consider them not only talented poets, but wonderful people as well. So, best of luck to Joni, Bianca, Selma, Nigel and Francisco. What a good bunch of folks and fellow creatives, and I’m honored to be included among all of you.

    1. You’re incredibly kind and I thank you so much. Just a nomination at this point, but the winners will be announced in the near future (not exactly sure when that will be). From what I’ve read, there are thousands of nominations yearly for the Pushcart Prize and only around 60-70 winners. So, winning the Pushcart Prize would be a thrill, indeed, but the nomination is going to be cherished for a lifetime.

      Thanks so much for your warm and enthusiastic support. It really does mean a lot to me, my friend. 😊🌸

    1. Thanks, Kirsten. It was a very pleasant surprise to learn of the nomination. I’m grateful for you support as always, my friend. Here’s wishing you a gnarly rest of the week! (Had to dig into my ’80s surfer lingo for that one.) 😀🌸
