This is my ninth consecutive Pushcart read; it's always been a highlight of my reading year. I like the variety, and while poetry is not my strong suit, it's always helpful to try again. But this year, I wasn't as enthralled. Not that it's bad - and there were some standouts - but I didn't come across a lot of pieces I wanted everyone to read immediately. Not sure if it's my mood, or the anthology.

My reactions to each of the the stories/essays/poems can be found at my blog, A Just Recompense.
