The Best of the Net Anthology promotes the diverse, growing collection of voices publishing their work online; the internet being a venue that continues to see less respect from such yearly anthologies as the Pushcart and Best American series. The anthology serves to achieve greater recognition for an innovative, continually expanding medium.

We at Dodging The Rain are delighted to announce our poetry nominees for 2017-2018.

Wanda Deglane, Moon Dog

Clare McCotter, Amy’s Song

John Jeffire, A Bout of Heavy Drinking

Niall Bourke, River Retirement Blues

Will Keohane, The Careful Destruction of a Heartbeat

Seanín Hughes, How to Swallow Whole The Sky

Congratulations to all.
