There is no other poet who writes like Torres. Elaborate, chanting, pointed, and granite in their 'octaves of shine, ' his poems have it all. They are a real and gritty pleasure to read, a necessary tonic to these toxic times. --John Yau
What does a book want to be in anyone's hands but an infinite word object? XoeteoX is a dare into perception, traversing territories of language, sound, and the visual page. At the intersection of identity, performance, and typography, these poems compel reader and word into being, presenting a pact towards understanding and the mutual beyond.
between you and me
a skin of cognition -- a container holding us together -- connecting us
your skin is incredibly porous
your existence -- unfolding within it
a journey leading back to its creation --
a right now -- in the making that forms the beginning
of what you end -- right now
