It's a big fat book that comes out annually, like BAP. The Pushcart is for "the best" poetry and fiction published in the small presses, I think. An editor can nominate anyone they've published for a Pushcart. However, I don't know, honestly, why 14hills (SF State's mag) is nominating you for a Pushcart. Unless they've changed something, a poem or story wins a Pushcart, not the editor/ publisher. Beats me.
Not to mention, too, that they're talking of work that appeared in their own publication... not the actual Action Books of those writers.
I don't get it at all.
You should email them back and ask them what the hell they're talking about.
They're nominating my translation of Aase Berg, not my editorial work.
I made the Action Books comment because not only did we publish my translations of Aase, we also published books by Tao, Sandy and Lara, all of whom were nominated.
I've been nominated to this award before, but I've never actually seen this book. It's one of those phrases I see a lot without actually knowing what they mean.
Well, now i Know. Thanks.
logan, you're the one who is confused, i think
i am totally confused. but now i see the light.
i'm also not very smart.
