FarmGirl Press is thrilled to announce our nominees for the 2025 Pushcart Prize!

The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses series has been published every year since 1976, and is considered the most honored literary project in America. Magazines and presses from around the world may nominate up to six pieces. We have selected six poems from our Spring and Fall issues of The Gilded Weathervane. We expect to hear a response sometime in Spring 2026.

Please congratulate our nominees and wish them lots of luck!
