Edwin Torres (poet)

He also has produced recordings titled Oceano Rise, Novo, and Holy Kid.

[2] Torres's parents moved from Puerto Rico and settled in the borough of The Bronx in New York City.

In 1989 Torres began working as a graphic designer and a year later he discovered the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, which inspired his creative instincts.

He was a member of "Real Live Poetry" from 1993–99, performing and conducting workshops across the US and overseas.

His poem, "I Saw Your Empire State Building" was included in the book, Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam[3] in the chapter which dealt with the poetry slam community's response to 9/11, and his work has appeared in numerous anthologies such as Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe,[4] Short Fuse: The Global Anthology of New Fusion Poetry,[5] and Heights of the Marvelous: A New York Anthology,[6] among many others.
