The Coquí Call

New short fiction available from Latin American Literary Review . Read here...  The Coquí Call Place often plays an important role in my fiction and this piece is no exception. The story is set in Humboldt Park, Chicago, and is inspired by events surrounding Hurricane Maria, capturing elements of displacement, postcolonial hospitality, and meaning making.
