2020 PUSHCART Nominations!

Alas! It has happened! For the first time in Underblong history, we want to extend our most vocal BLONGRATULATIONS to our 2020 Pushcart nominees!!!

All six of these poems have been swimming circles around our heads, providing boatloads of sunshine in these gloomy days. The first three poems were published earlier this year in our fourth issue, and the last three will be published later this month in our blongtastic fifth issue!! Never have six poems felt more powerfully important for our world—doing that real work we always dream of. It is such an honor to publish them, and now we are jumping up and down to nominate them, for our very first time!! For the Pushcart Prize!!!
