This is powerful. By Reyes Ramirez, Houston poet laureate, in @bittersouth.bsky.social:

Another installment of my APOCALYPSES series of poems has been published in the @texasobserver.org! This one is set in the cold 🥶. A big thanks to Poetry Editor Lupe Mendez for giving it a home. Check out the rest of the poem:

It was an absolute honor & pleasure to translate Michelle Recino’s story “Casting” English for New England Review! Big thanks to Alexandra Lytton Regalado for curating & editing this folio that includes so many other amazing Salvadoran writers in El Salvador and in the diaspora in conversation.

I have a new short story up at @lightspeedmagazine.com It’s body horror and science fiction in the form of a news article set in future Houston that explores housing, technology, and capitalism. Read it:

“Think of dimensions in a multi-spatial room as one cube inside of another cube. [...] The cubes take turns being inside of one another [...]. If you make that switch happen quickly and smoothly enough, would you know which cube is inside of which?"
