pushcart nomination from the gettysburg review

Absolutely stunned that THE GETTYSBURG REVIEW has nominated my essay "Family Pictures" for a Pushcart. Speechless.

Publishing there was already amazing in itself.

Here's their announcement: "We are happy to announce our Pushcart Prize nominees. Visit our website to learn which pieces were nominated. Authors include: Andrew Koch, Rodney Gomez, Janice Obuchowski, Bruce Cohen, David Crouse, Jacqueline Doyle, Julia Drake, Albert Goldbarth, Jay Leeming, Rebecca McClanahan, Kathryn Nuernberger, Catherine Pierce, and J. Allyn Rosser." Their announcement on their blog specifies what stories, essays, and poems are being nominated (two by Rebecca McClanahan, one of my creative nonfiction heroes).
