“A Short History of Falling” by Pamela Uschuk, appearing in the current issue (No. 24) of Terrain.org, has been named a “Best of the Web” award recipient by Dzanc Books and will be included in its Best of the Web 2010 anthology.
The selection completes the hat trick for Terrain.org, as we placed fiction in the 2008 edition (“The Split” by Kim Whitehead) and nonfiction in the 2009 edition (“Catching Hell: The Joe Holt Integration Story” by Heather Killelea McEntarfer).

Terrain.org was recently featured on the Grist Blog’s (Gristmill) “In Cities Is the Preservation of the Word” discussion thread.
Specifically, one of the commentors said:
A wealth of Metro-Natural Lit
“For anyone who is not familiar with it; if there is a central hub on urban nature writing I believe it is terrain.org, the free online journal of the built and natural environments. I’m a big fan of the site. This is a journal that kind of evolved from the terra nova journal of the early nineties.
“If you look at their contributor’s list, it can act as a who’s who of the sub-genre.
“I think it has some of the best literature that addresses all of the five thematic questions that Ms. Price suggested, as well as several that she didn’t. It also has a complete archive of all it’ past issues available.
“There is such a wealth of great work here that it may change your opinion that not much is being written on the issue.”
