Mexican on the Moon cover. Female atronaut with helmet off with braids
I met Pedro at StokerCon last year. Last night I had a dream that told me read "Mexicans on the Moon." It's so good.
Thanks dream angels and @pedroiniguez.bsky.social for writing this poetry collection #read #mustread
Submitted my first ever speculative poems!!
Excited to defeat the overlords of overthinking and overediting.
