We are extremely excited to announce for the first time we are nominating poets for the Pushcart Prize from poems first-time published on Cadence Collective in the 2014 year.  We have been honored to showcase poets from and near the Long Beach area over the last year and a half. So many poets have given generously to help create this daily poetry source. We’d like to give back a little and submit the following poems for consideration for the next year’s prize:

• Danielle Mitchell for “Single Women’s Rehabilitation Day” (2/15/2014)
• JL Martindale for “Last Line Epiphanies” (5/23/2014)
• Peggy Dobreer for “Serving Fresh Fish” (7/2/2014)
• Kelsey Bryan-Zwick for “For Unknown” (9/12/2014)
• Eric Morago for “The First Steps in Treating Mental Illness” (10/1/2014)
• Terry Wright for “The Regret Variation” (11/11/2014)

We would like to wish them the same luck we’ve been given to have published such fine work in 2014!
