Now he calls me his stepbrother and looks right through me like I’m nothing. He pretends he doesn’t remember that night in the closet. But I do. I still taste him like blood in my mouth. I remember how he kissed me back—and how he made sure I paid for it.

Vivian Barrera, a professional woman focused on her company's success, doesn't know what to think when her sometimes-lover and long-time business partner Jack hires someone without her permission. The only thing she does know is that she doesn't like the newcomer. April Hawkins is determined to make her new job work. Left as the sole provider for her niece, she just wants to keep her head down and collect her paycheck. That proves to be difficult when one of her bosses seems to hate her and the other seems to like her a little too much.

She's out as a trans lesbian, has a good job, and is in the promising start of a new relationship. To top it all off, she's back in contact with her sister, who has completely accepted her. She's not ready to tell the rest of her family, but that's okay.

After giving twelve years of my life to the service, I didn't just lose my leg. I lost everything, including my career. When the dust settled, the only person still standing by my side in the rubble was Brandt—the single lifeline I had left to a world I didn't want to live in anymore.

O Brasil assistiu nos últimos anos ao rápido crescimento da JBS, que, nas mãos dos irmãos Wesley e Joesley Batista, saiu da condição de pequena empresa familiar para transformar-se em gigante mundial.

Por que não crescer contando com atalhos e privilégios de uma rede estatal de benefícios?

while they sleep (under the bed is another country) is written in dialogic fragments and interspersed with prose poems reflecting on the lasting impact of colonial trauma. The bed on which America sleeps is built on the fear that the nations it has oppressed will rise up against it, a monstrous shadow in a child's nightmare. Written in English, while they sleep points to an imperialist American identity: the dormant body of the text. Answering in Spanish, under the bed is another country is the footnote, the monster under the bed, the colony: Puerto Rico.
