We are so proud of the voices we publish in the Exponent II magazine. Each year, small presses and magazines are invited to nominate six pieces from the calendar year that demonstrate top literary merit for the Pushcart Prize. While this is never an easy decision given the many incredible pieces we publish, we are thrilled to nominate two poems and four essays spanning our Winter 2023 through Fall 2023 issues:
- “Reluctant, Radiant” poem by Heidi Naylor in Spring 2023
- “The Place that Does Not Exist” essay by Allison Pingree in Spring 2023
- “Cantus Firmus” by Sarah Perkins in Summer 2023
- “Moonlight Catfish” essay by Melodie Jackson in Fall 2023 (link forthcoming)
- “The Trench Coat of Multiple Colors” essay by Allison Hong Merrill in Fall 2023 (link forthcoming)
- “Wrestle” poem by Janessa Ransom in Fall 2023 (link forthcoming)
Congratulations to these writers!
