About the Author:
Bill Henderson is the founder and editor of the Pushcart Prize. He received the 2006 National Book Critic Circle’s Lifetime Achievement Award and the Poets & Writers / Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award. He is also the author of several memoirs, including All My Dogs: A Life. The founder of the Lead Pencil Club, Henderson lives on Long Island and In Maine where he runs the Pushcart bookstore – “the world’s smallest bookstore.”
From Publishers Weekly:
The 56 short stories, poems and essays collected in this annual winnowing from small presses, literary magazines and university reviews provide, as usual, access to a splendid range of current writers who offer nourishment for the spirit. "Where the Sea Used to Be" by Rick Bass is a powerful rendering of an oil driller's communion with the earth. Wallis, a spotter of drilling sites, imagines that an ancient basin in the Appalachian foothills was once filled with "the sound of old waves, miles and miles of empty beach." The New York fast-tracker in "What Is It Then Between Us?" by Eliud Havazelet speaks from his drug infusion: "The Chrysler is an elaborate spear to snag careless angels," as he careens to oblivion. In Tess Gallagher's "Girls," a simple woman learns her past is not memorable, and the dazzling metaphysics of a "mantic" coach enliven "The Era of Great Numbers" by Lee K. Abbott. The poems, under the editorship of Philip Booth and Jay Meek, include "Henry James and Hester Street" by Carl Dennis, an imaginative confrontation between the patrician expatriate and "ubiquitous aliens"; and "May, 1968," Sharon Olds's evocation of an urban campus strike. Seamus Heaney's masterful essay illuminates the Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert and ranges over Western culture.
