two flash nominated for best small fictions 2018

Black Lawrence Press editors Kit Frick and Diane Goettel nominated two of my flash in THE MISSING GIRL for BEST SMALL FICTIONS 2018, guest edited this year by Aimee Bender. I'm so grateful! 

They also nominated two prose poems, from Jenny Irish's COMMON ANCESTOR and Carol Guess and Daniela Olszewska's HUMAN-GHOST HYBRID PROJECT. I ordered both books a while back and LOVE both of them. I'm fascinated by the prose poem, and wonder at what point what I'm calling lyric flash (some of my favorite flash) crosses the boundary between prose and poem. 

BEST SMALL FICTIONS is only in its third year, but it's well known among flash writers, a really good anthology. I won't hold my breath, but I have my fingers crossed.
