We’re thrilled to bring you our first Spanish-language feature: “Cuando me preguntan si siento nostalgia por Cuba suelo ser esquivo en mi respuesta para no perturbar al interlocutor cuando respondo que mis seres queridos caminan por esta ciudad, con lo que queda de patria a cuestas y, de cierta manera, el país está donde moran: la familia, los amigos y los amores”. Pepe Nostalgia, by Alejandro Ríos

We’ve also published two new English-language features:

“My father tented his house a few years ago and unwittingly transformed it into a concentration camp for frogs--the little, bug-eyed ones familiar to any South Florida homeowners who haven't covered their entire yard with concrete.” House Tenting, by Brooke McQuale

“I last ate chicharrones from Futuro Supermarket about three months ago, on a football Sunday. I hadn't ventured into the place since Sarita and I broke up, about two years before . . .” Chicharrones, by Arjay Kay

Finally, pull out the pen and paper! We've announced our Hurricane Story Contest.

“Now, I wish I'd held on to the sketch. It's not that it was particularly good. A bit on the amateur side to be honest. But then a homeless man who drew on whatever piece of paper happened to be around and sold it to you for a dollar is not the guy you'd normally turn to for fine art.” I’m Joaquín, You’re Joaquín, by Virge Castillo

“I grew up on the Miami River and went to school at Ada Merritt Elementary during World War II. At eight years old, I was as scrawny as a kid could be.” Odd Jobs in Wartime, by Rick Magers

Our April Photo of the Month, Peter Ostrowsky at the Fair, was shot by Ben Ostrowsky, and celebrates the Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition.
