CLMP Names Firecracker Award Finalists, Lord Nose Award Winner

May 31, 2019

The Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) has announced the finalists of its fifth annual Firecracker Awards. Given to recognize the importance of independent literary publishing, the awards honor the best self- and independently published books of fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry, as well as the best literary magazines in the categories of debut and general excellence.

CLMP has also announced the recipient of the third annual Lord Nose Award, given in memory of Jonathan Williams, publisher of the literary press The Jargon Society, in recognition of a lifetime of superlative small press publishing. This year’s Lord Nose Award recipient is Tender Buttons, founded by poet Lee Ann Brown in 1989 with the aim of publishing the best in experimental women’s writing.

The winners of the Firecracker Awards will be announced at the awards ceremony on June 5, 2019, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Poets House in New York City. Dorothea Lasky will host the event, and a reception will follow.
