“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
