New cover reveal for Speculative Fictions for Dreamers: A Latinx Anthology, edited by Alex Hernandez, Matthew David Goodwin, and Sarah Rafael Garcia (OSU Press), the first collection of YA Latinx speculative fiction. We gaze at it until August 2021, when it finally becomes available for us to hold in our hands, at long last. But it’s a wonderful thing to look at as we wait. Art by team at Ohio State University Press and Victor Tongee. The original art by  Alfredo Conrique (Pogo) was available during our successful Kickstarter for some cool posters and postcards!

I’m reading from my story “Jean” which, they say, “finely interweaves the Nuyorican experience with the mythology of the X-Men, exploring trauma from the distant perspective of Nova, a Rigellian Recorder. This story is a love-song to comics and their life-transforming potential!”
