Green Man is nominated by Cirque Magazine for a Pushcart Prize!

Your piece “Green Man” p. 58 Fiction V. 15.1 Issue Published on Aug 24, 2025, is a Pushcart Nominee. This vivid, psychologically layered short story fuses art, myth, and trauma recovery into a deeply symbolic modern pilgrimage. This reader’s response was “GD that’s a good story. So interesting, psychologically. A gamut of feelings and sensations, a healing, a catharsis. Tremendous. Wild. Imaginative,” Lyrical Realism: crisp realism (bars, phones, therapy sessions) with dreamlike, mythic transformation. Psychological Depth: the rhythm of therapy — spiraling back to trauma, confronting it, then releasing it. And, Mythopoetic Imagery: culminates in archetypal rebirth — from darkness and blood to moonlight and creation.

Congratulations.
