Cenote City
"Lune's mother cannot stop crying after all the hospitals shut down. She cries and cries and finally she is exiled to the cenote, where her tears endlessly fill the giant sinkhole. She becomes a big tourist attraction. People come from miles to see Marcrina cry into the cenote--part prisoner, part carnival attraction, part saint, Marcrina's story is one of heartbreak, love, and endurance. This is the story of Lune, of Marcrina, of Lune's son Nico, and of a strange place called Cenote City, where the world of magic and the dead entwines with daily life in enchanting and unsettling ways. Monique Quintana's words will pull you under, down to the depths, where tears flow, hearts break, and dreams are reborn every day."--Publisher's description.

Girlarium
'forever child’: Kristin Garth's Girlarium plunges readers beneath the placid surface of American girlhood and into the turbulent depths of monstrosity. The books' marriage of strict metric structure to fluid imagery and graphic journalistic elements produces a wonderland tour of mixed media. Our collective ideal mermaid is interrogated, analyzed, vivisected, redefined, and finally freed--no longer a suburban oddity or curio in an aquarium tank, shedding selves as scales and phases of the sea-loving moon.” -Diana Hurlburt, author of Nothing Natural (Sword & Kettle Press 2021)
Até Mais
A radical rethinking of poetics and the negation of borders from more than 40 Latinx poets. Até Mais: Until More gathers poets from a diverse spectrum of Latinidad, sharing their truths, visions, wonderments, fears, and revelations. Visions of collective futures emerge from a resistance to colonialist projects, displacement, and anti-indigenous settler cultures. In this anthology, Latinx poets engage in a radical rethinking of what our society can (or cannot) achieve through imagination. Despite/against the presence of borders, the unity enacted within these pages creates a mission of community resistance.
A Night of Screams
The movement of the old woman’s hands is quick and youthful as she works the dough for tamales on Mars’ dusty, dry surface where their cohete broke apart and crash landed. She, her husband and their only son survive, and the old man curses the coyotes who took his money for a rocket not built to accommodate his family of eleven. A storm is coming, and he rails at his wife that she’s wasting her time. “We’ll be dead by the time you finish your goddamn tamales.” This riveting collection of horror stories—and four poems—contains a wide range of styles, themes and authors. Creepy creatures roam the pages, including La Llorona and the Chupacabras in fresh takes on Latin American l...
