Congratulations, Oso Guardiola, on the nomination of your story "Subcommandante Saúl Reyna Discusses Alienation of the Lover from the Beloved" for the 2026 Pushcart Prize! The story appeared in Issue No. 1 of Anarchist Fictions.
We were lucky to be able to print this poignant and finely-crafted tale. Oso, we hope you continue writing and sharing your writing with the world for a very long time.
Every year, the Pushcart Prize honours the best writing from small presses and lit mags. Winning pieces are anthologized in "Best of Small Presses".
