Parakeetings, bloggerissimo!
I know I speak not only for myself but also for coeditor
Deb Olin Unferth when I say thanks to all Parakeet contributors for your support of Parakeet and for giving us the honor and pleasure of publishing your work. The journal is at the printer and will arrive soon! We oh'ed and ah'ed again over everyone's work and found the decision intensely difficult, finally arriving at the journal's Pushcart nominees for this year:
Dan Beachy-Quick "The Nest, Swift Passerine"
Michael Martone, "Key"
David Ohle, "The Stiff"
Ken Rumble, "from Key Bridge"
Zachary Schomburg, "Low-Life Pilgrims"
Karen Volkman, "Sonnet"
Many many thanks to all contributors. We will also be sending the journal with many hopes for you all to the Best Americans and other numinosities.
