Having published so much remarkable short fiction and poetry this year, choosing our six entries for the Pushcart Prize has proved to be an extremely difficult decision. There are many pieces we regret not being able to nominate but in the end our six very worthy nominees are:

‘Ballooning with Habibi’ by Stevie Davies

‘Whose Story is this Anyway?’ by Jo Mazelis

‘The Shape of this How’ by Medbh McGuckian

‘Futuretense®’ by Nuala Ní Chonchúir

‘Indigenous Cities’ by Matt Rader

‘The Daughters of Lot’ by Jenn Ashworth
