best of the year?,
By adead_poet@hotmail.com "adead_poet@hotmail.com" (Beaumont, tx USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: The Pushcart Prize XXV: Best of the Small Presses (2001 Edition) (Paperback)
For 25 years Bill Henderson has been doing a noble thing with his Pushcart Prize Anthologies. Looking at the list of previous winners, you see quite an impressive list, and while not every writer of merit is represented, many are. I'm not familiar with the previous editions, but this year's selection seems a bit week. There are 40 poems, and like the entries in the 2001 Best American Poetry, they aren't the strongest choices. There are only three essays (one on apples--bad; one on Milton--great; and one by Seamus Heaney--ok), and you would think there would have been more in this selection. There are 24 pieces of fiction that range from the really bad to the pretty good. And then, a cross between the essay and fiction, there are 10 memoirs that also span the range. Looking at the contributing editors you'd think Henderson's choices could have been stronger. But we take what we have.
