Pushcart Nomination for “The many deaths of the wives”

I'm proud to say that my poem, “The many deaths of the wives,” about the 1800s actor M. B. Curtis and his wife Marie, was nominated for a Pushcart Prize by the editor of Likely Red, where the piece was first published. For the uninitiated, the Pushcart Prize is an annual anthology compiled by veteran editors who read and review thousands of pieces submitted from editors of other presses. Every press in the world is invited to submit their best pieces from the calendar year for consideration for the award, and Likely Red chose to nominate my poem. You can see the nomination announcement HERE, and read the poem for free online HERE.
