Yesterday, the shortlists for many, many different categories in the 33rd annual National Magazine Awards were announced. New Brunswick’s highly regarded Fiddlehead scored big, with:
Three nominations in the fiction category: Jeff Park’s “Back to Disney,” Steven Heighton’s “Shared Room on Union,” and J. M. Villaverde’s “The Spanish Hour.”
Two nominations in the poetry category: a triplet of Anne Compton poems, and Vanessa Moeller’s “Abondoned Postcards Found in Hotel Room 464.”
Congrats also to poet and essayist Zach Wells, author of Atlantic Poetry Prize nominee Track & Trace, on being shortlisted in the ”One of a kind” category for this essay in Arc.
