Underground Bookshelf attended the Disability Pride Celebration at the Museum of Science on July 25, 2026. Attendees were invited to participate in a one-day micro-poetry or short story contest at our booth, and we received so many great submissions that it was hard to select the winners. But it was truly delightful reading what everyone submitted. I can't wait to do another contest like this at the other events we attend this summer. Below, you'll find one of the honorable mentions. Thank you to everyone who submitted. Keep writing!
If you'd like to connect with Underground Bookshelf again this summer, you can find us at Open Streets: Jamaica Plain on August 2, 2026. Please reach out to me at contact.undergroundbookshelf@gmail.com or visit the Summer Events for more details. Hope to see you there!
"I Lost my Hearing"

I lost my hearing.
Then a cochlear implant
brought most of it back.
