  • Best of the Net Nominations

    Nightingale & Sparrow is excited to announce our nominations for this year’s Best of the Net anthology!

    Because our print and digital issues are published simultaneously, our quarterly issues aren’t eligible for this opportunity. However, as online exclusives, our micropoem selections are!

    And so, without further ado, we present our Best of the Net nominations, in no particular order:

    La Pietà – Angi Holden

    Eyebright – Alana Saltz

    Revelation – Sarah M. Lillard

    Greensleeves Replies – Merril D. Smith

    By Any Other Name, Juliet – Britton Minor

    Yonder – Kyla Houbolt

When she’s not writing you can often find her gazing into the treetops, or wondering who is going to play her in the movie of her life.
