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' 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.
