Over sixty selections of the best poetry, essays and short fiction have been selected out of thousands of nominations from Pushcart staff, contributing editors and hundreds of small presses. The result is an introduction to a literary world, that few readers have access to - the world, where much of today's significant writing is published.

(A reader and a writer don their respective roles and emba...)
A reader and a writer don their respective roles and embark on the journey of a book. This is their story, ultimately a love story, darkly funny, mournful, testy. It is about a reader, who at times presides over the page like a god, and at others, follows the leash of the author's voice through the dark streets of the book like a dog, and it is about a writer of determined slipperiness. As we read, we think that each of us is The Reader, the one, who knows the Real Story. But the more we think we understand, the more the story moves away from us - all is not what it seems.
