As children, we circled the crow chick that fell from its nest. Its wings were splayed heavenward like a saint's, its brains streaked like veins of quartz across asphalt. Its neck arched back at a fossil-like, impossible angle. That was when I learned how fragile birds' bones are, hollow and light as breath. Shattered by even a careless touch. They are tiny things, wet and bent, as black and as slick with the wet of birth as her hair. Monitors and nurses' murmurs fade as I cup her to me.

CW: pregnancy, implied cannibalism. I’m in the living room with Rob when there’s a knock at the door. He looks up from his bowl of cereal with detached interest. His face drains to gray. “Oh.” He swallows. “No.”We rent a craftsman house. The door has an ornamental window; I can see who’s standing outside. Generally, I don’t like it. I don’t want delivery guys seeing me eating cereal in my underwear on the couch next to my husband, like I’m doing now. I see my husband on the porch.

This year was an incredible year for Latinx representation in publishing. Without a doubt, there’s still a lot of work to be done to increase visibility and success for the writers and storytellers in our community. Even now, there’s a major lack of diversity on all sides of the publishing industry but writers like Elizabeth Acevedo, Isabel Allende, and Melissa Lozada-Oliva are part of the move toward more diversity.
