  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  CYNTHIA GÓMEZ – A story has so many little midwives, and this story has many. LP Kindred and Eric Raglin: I run out of grateful words for the way your guidance shaped this story into what it is now. Thea Boodhoo: I remember spending an entire afternoon talking with you about this piece. If attention is one of the best gifts we can give each other, I’m so spoiled.

  Thank you to the folks in the San Francisco Writers Workshop, especially to Olga Zilberbourgh and Judy Viertel, whose affection for this story was so encouraging. Thank you to my group at Tin House 2019 and to Justin Torres for your leadership, and for the praise you wrote that I open up and reread when I need to. Micah Clatterbaugh, you said, “How about you write the stories you keep talking about?” Pues, here it is.

  And I love my family, who reads every fucking thing I write. From the time I was writing it in crayon. If it’s been days or years since I’ve seen you, if you’re close or far away. Mama, Papa, and Big Sister bear, and all the others too. Abrazos fuertes y gracias por todo todito.

  M. LOPES DA SILVA – I’d like to thank all of the people who helped this little story about messy queers come to life: Samantha Mayotte and Shelley Lavigne, who read first and helped the angels sing; Mae Murray and all of the HWSG members for their support of my angels; William Bibbiani for loving and caffeinating the angels; Alex Ebenstein for taking a chance on my angels; and Lor Gislason for the goop.
