In the looming battle between Dracule factions, all pretenses will shatter as Maia and Dimitri come together in an unholy union of danger, desperation and fiercest desire.

Dimitri Reyes describes his chapbook Every First & Fifteenth as "an ode to the month-to-month living, bodega store shopping, lotto ticket scratching, bus catching, 99-cent-Wednesday-washing existences of energy..." Situated in Newark, New Jersey's urban landscape of multi-lingual communities, Reyes' narrator, a street corner bard guided by the spirit of Jerry Gant, takes us on a journey of language alternations. Each poem is a negotiation between life on the streets and the joyful and sometimes perilous quest for self-discovery. Traversing the desires of wanting to fit in, to get something, to say something in secret - Reyes' eclectic poetic forms embody the duende, the cri de coeur, the hand-to-mouth hustle of life.
