Miss Universe was published in 2008.
““Small jewels of beauty glint in Ruby’s writing – her vernacular pops & clicks when she swaggers thru Atlanta, Chi-town, and the Bay, or when she writes haikus to Jay-Z…laxes into longing with “summer in your eyes” or turns visionary when she invokes Obama as a “sunrise bleeding across a war torn sky.” She calls 2008 a year of “cruxes and high noon. Look up, ladies. A ruby star has begun to bloom.” ”

“Miss Universe offers a more vulnerable, personable method of expression. As a result, it has a more authentic feeling…gender and race aren’t new topics of discussion, but Veridiano adds a distinctive voice to these timeless conversations.””
