I was very happy to learn that Pebble Lake Review and Margin nominated my poems this year for the Pushcart Prize. PLR nominated "Humidity," and Margin nominated "Grassland," which they reprinted early this year. Tomorrow is my birthday, & I think this is all I need.

the start of the letter from PLR:

Dear Sarah,

Congratulations! Pebble Lake Review has nominated your poem,
“Humidity” (PLR Summer 2006) for the Pushcart Prize.

The Pushcart Prize was named among the most influential projects in the history of American publishing by Publishers Weekly. Little magazine and small book press editors may make up to six nominations from their year’s publications by The Pushcart Prize’s December 1 deadline. Work from Pebble Lake Review was selected for inclusion in this year’s Pushcart Prize anthology.
