The Hippocampus Magazine editors nominated “Maybe We Can Make a Circle” for the Pushcart Prize for creative nonfiction. Just being nominated is such an honor. I’m so grateful.

Thanks to editors who published and nominated my essay. And thanks to the readers who shared it and commented. This piece was a long time in the making. I never expected this kind of a response.

I am also in very good company. If you love great writing, please consider reading the work of the other nominees.
