1. Nick Purdon for “Glint” (from The Road-Shaped Heart)

2. Regina Jemison for “WOMEN WAITING: breast cancer, a story”(from Soul Clothes)

3. Mark Elswick for “Newborn to Dad–No Multitasking!” (from Padman: A Dad’s Guide to Buying…Those and Other Tales)

4. Telaina Eriksen for Dear Sprite (from Recovering the Self, Volume 3, No 2 )

5. Kristin Lieberman for Thin-Skinned (from Recovering the Self, Volume 3, No 2 )

6. Kat Fasano-Nicotera for Living Outside of the Lines (from Recovering the Self, Volume 3, No 2)

Volkman, Publisher at the Loving Healing Press and Senior Editor of Modern History Press.

Congrats and good luck to the all nominees!
