The Pushcart Prize XXXIV: Best of the Small Presses
I like this series, generally, and I think this is a pretty good year; at least, I'm sure I've read worse.
Standouts for me include Bill Heyen's poem "A Poetics of Hiroshmia," the Sara Pritchard story, "Two Studies in Entropy," and thought a lot of Gregory Orr's memoir and Brenda Wineapple's short investigation of E Dickinson's relationship with her famous editor Higginson.
I'm usually pretty wowed by Lia Purpura, but her piece here didn't do it for me, quite. And I do feel, and feel strongly, that there isn't enough good non-fiction the editors of this anthology review to justify the tremendous space the material gets here; I'm not making a comment on all NF published, just the stuff that turns up here, which is variable in quality but generally dull, and so disparate in approach to not really fit with the other objectives of the anthology. I just wish there were less of it.
The selections as a whole are generally a little staid, and this year is no exception. I like the wide swath of new writers this exposes me to every year, but sometimes wish it dug a little deeper into formally inventive work than it generally does.
A good year from New Letters, and then a lot of expected stuff: VQR, Poetry, etc.
