B O D Y’s Pushcart Prize Nominations

 
 
Each year, we at B O D Y strive to find the very best in contemporary writing and publish it in our magazine. We believe that the work B O D Y publishes is among the the very best being written.

All the writing that appears in B O D Y excites us, therefore, when it comes to choosing our Pushcart nominations, it is an extremely difficult job to select the works that made the most profound impressions on us.

The six writers below all provided that which we are most looking for: urgency, freshness, a reconfigured sense of reality, originality and a sense of value. Most of all, we very much enjoyed reading their work, and are proud to have published it.

B O D Y wishes each of our nominees the very best of luck.
