Little Worm has been nominated for a 2009 Pushcart Prize by the editors of east to west: bicoastal verse, where the story appeared in the Spring ’08 edition.
My sincere thanks to PJ Nights and Ray Sweatman, co-editors, who placed the story into nomination. The odds against an actual award are very, very long, but so were the odds against this deeply appreciated nomination.
Please support the work of east to west by visiting their website and buying books through Lulu.
Read Little Worm here.

Big up! Congratulations David! After I catch up with a few of your newer offerings, I’ll check out “Little Worm,” which I think I remember, although my memory’s been known to play tricks. Honor, mon.
Thank you, Kathleen. I think the story will come back to you the minute you see it.

You know how those Oscar nominees always say just being nominated is an honor? Well for the Pushcart Prize, it really is. So half-congratulations now. I’m saving the other half for when you win.
I half-thank you very much, anhinga.
