<p>At the end of 2020, I received incredible news: <a href="https://iowareview.org">THE IOWA REVIEW</a> had nominated my short story &#8220;Birds of New Mexico&#8221; for a Pushcart Prize! I was already elated that my story was even going to be published in this magazine, so to find out that, on top of selecting it for publication, the editors liked it enough to nominate it for the Pushcart&#8230;well, I was grinning for a few days solid! The issue (50/2) is now available to order; you can purchase it <a href="https://iowareview.org/content/buy-single-issue">here</a> if you&#8217;d like to check out &#8220;Birds of New Mexico&#8221; and many other pieces (including several other Pushcart nominees)!</p>
