I am so very pleased to have "Ensorcelled Within the Eyes of P'aqo" be nominated for the 2018 Pushcart Prize.  Thank you to Editor Mark Antony Rossi for this honor.

Ariel Chart: Pushcart Prize Nominations 

I’ve had the enormous pleasure to be an Editor in Chief this year and bring to life my dream of a different online literary journal that would accept well written poetry and short fiction and personally reply back to everyone regardless of acceptance or rejection. 

It’s been a blessing, a task and sometimes an adventure to helm this ship into uncharted waters of communication, education and ultimately admiration of writers from around the world. 

The following are the six nominations I and Fiction Editor Marchelle Young submitted to the Pushcart Prize Committee for consideration for their Prize. 

Fiction:

Anna Kander — Hydrangeas
Amber Colyer — Eine Nacht
A.D. Hurley — At the Other End of the Barrel 

Poetry:

Elidio La Torre Legares — Dead Father in the Storm 

Linda Imbler — Ensorcelled Within the Moonlit Eyes of P’aqo

Ann Christine Tabaka — Disorientation 

I thank all of our contributors and hope to see more of your work in the new year. God Bless.

Mark Antony Rossi
