Reseña del editor:

Poetry. Associated with both the spoken word and avant-garde literary communities of New York City, Edwin Torres has carved out an energetic and suggestive space between those worlds, mapping out a prospective direction for American poetry. "Edwin Torres's poetry--full of complex graphic experiments and daring sonic explorations--opens new creative possibilities, simultaneously challenging and delighting our intelligence" --Lorenzo Thomas. "Torres successfully transmits the oral/aural to the page, attending to vocal immediacies that stretch from Dada excess to spoken-word access" --Jena Osman.
