Reviews

“A deft recombination of digital media and information arts, mock multiculturalist imperatives, performance and sound poetry and post-Language subjective lyricism, [this book] is one more unexpected twist in the career of Torres, a New York poet who was once associated with the performance poets of the Nuyorican cafe.” - Publishers Weekly
