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:

Text: Reyes Ramirez Named at Houston's New Poet Laureate "As the next Poet Laureate, I want to show how amazing the city of Houston is for art, because Houston itself is a juncture of all sorts of diasporas, of cultures, of peoples that are talking to each other just so casually. I want to highlight how Houston incorporates histories of the South, of the borderlands, of the Southwest, of the West, of the urban, of the rural, of farms, of city skyscrapers. All these things are in conversation with each other. I want to show how Houston not only is a major point of literature for Texas and the United States, but the world."
