If you’ve been reading along this year with Little Patuxent Review, you know we’ve had an incredible bevy of talent from which to pull our annual Pushcart nominations, due today. Our entire staff and volunteer readers shared their feedback to create a comprehensive submission.
Congratulations to all our nominees!

Online Editor’s Note: The submission window for our Summer 2016 “unthemed” issue opens today. We’re in search of excellent poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Who knows? Maybe your name will appear on next year’s Pushcart nomination list.
