Talk Shows

Author: Mónica de la Torre

Publisher: Switchback Books (2007)

Talk Shows is accomplished translator Mónica de la Torre's first book of original poetry in English.

"De la Torre's poetry deconstructs sets of beliefs about what it means to be a multi-dimensional subject and turns markers of gender and race on their so-called ears. Identity and gender politics are folded neatly into smart disses and observations on the specifics of cultural play and gaff, making this a book to be reckoned with."

–Lee Ann Brown
