Congratulations to Brian Trimboli and Bruce Cohen — their poems “Things My Son Should Have Known Before He Died” and “The Jerry Lewis Telethon,” respectively, have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize by their Board of Contributing Editors. Brian and Bruce will join our other six nominees in waiting patiently by the phone for the winners to be announced in May.

Wish them luck, cross your fingers with us, and take a moment to enjoy their poems all over again.
