Description for In the Function of External Circumstances
paperback. Num Pages: 122 pages, 20 illus. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 9. Weight in Grams: 191.
Poet and performer Edwin Torres's extraordinary new book emerges in five riveting sections with a thematic undercurrent examining the body, love, journey, direction, and talk. These poems, intimate and expansive, use lyrical tone as an entry into communication, allowing experimental pieces and quiet poems to coexist. Black-and-white art illuminates the text and contributes to the lingual density while adding a figurative translation to the work. The overall sense is one of internal combustion, a sensory experience within the allegory of the human condition.
