In richly immersive and sonically engaging poems, American Book Award winner Edwin Torres sculpts language toward a landing place for sensorial and ecological input. Torres's new collection, feel recordings in the evershift, investigates ecology and the body as fields of perception, seeking to record this felt world and allow the reader a chance to roam within their own recordings. A longtime teacher and performance artist, globally active in collaboration with many multidisciplinary communities, the poet explores placemaking as self-making, portraying for the reader the wide-ranging possibilities of poem making. This record of investigation and deep listening reveals poetry's ability to connect the body to the earth's continual shift. As we experience the ecopoetics formed through this process, we are asked to join Torres in challenging a poem's function on the page, in the reader, and within the world.
