I'm delighted to be able to announce that "The Akedah Cycle," a series of poems exploring the Biblical story of the binding of Isaac -- published in 70 faces -- has been nominated for a 2011 Pushcart Prize.

Three others whose work is published by Phoenicia were also nominated; you can read more at the post Pushcart nominations for Phoenicia authors. As that post notes, "The Pushcart Awards honor the best work published by small presses each year, and while only a few are chosen for the published anthology by the Pushcart jury, it is a reward in itself to gain a nomination from the editors and publishers of the small journals and presses."

Thanks, Phoenicia!
