Fifth Wednesday Editor’s Prize
Every year, Fifth Wednesday Journal reviews the work of contributing artists to make selections for the Editor’s Prize in short fiction, poetry, and photography. The fall 2009 issue includes the editors comments on their selections. This year, Ann Leahy selected the work of Ray Gonzalez (“Canto” fall 2008), with a special note of recognition to Rebecca B. Rank and Mary Biddinger. Andrew Coburn’s fiction (“Hearty Women” spring 2009) was selected by Keith Gandal, and Barbara DeGenevieve selected the photography of Harry Wilson (“Classroom Turkey” fall 2008), with an honorable mention to Leigh Wells.
