A contributor copy of Best Microfiction 2026 has landed in my mailbox. Hooray! What an honor to have my work from Whale Road Review included, with such fine company.

Check out the poem here in its original home, if you’d like a preview: “Everyone Needs a Bit of Spiritual Devotion,” from Whale Road Review.

Big thanks to Best Microfiction series editors Meg Pokrass and Gary Fincke, and to guest editor Diane Seuss.
