El Tiempo Cura las Heridas - Time Heals All Wounds
As Senator Alejandro Ángel Ramos-Alejo lies dying in a New Mexico hospital, watching the January 6th insurrection unfold on television, his mind cycles through the moments that shaped him: the My Lai massacre, his family's history surviving La Matanza, riding a Greyhound to protest Vietnam with underground newspapers. His family's story is America's story from the bottom up—but he chose Washington over the streets, believing he could change the system from within. Now, abandoned by his aide and facing death, he confronts a haunting possibility: was his entire career just another form of extraction?
On The Grind
"On The Grind" is a haunting short story that follows Ferris Hatcher, a family farmer facing the systematic destruction of her livelihood by agricultural conglomerates. Set on a ten-thousand-acre farm, the narrative explores the intersection of economic violence, generational trauma, and corporate consolidation in modern agriculture. Through Ferris's struggle to sell her harvest, Woods weaves a powerful tale connecting contemporary agricultural challenges to the historical cycles of dispossession that began with post-Reconstruction violence against Black farmers in the American South.
