We are excited to have Zev Torres as our featured poet for the month of April. This is Zev's first time featuring at Ken Siegelman's Brooklyn Poetry Outreach.
Zev is a writer and spoken word performer who seeks to unearth hidden veins of emotion from ordinary experiences.
Zev’s poetry has appeared in numerous print and on-line publications including, Great Weather for MEDIA’s anthology, I Let Go of the Stars in My Hand, The Screech Owl, The Linnet’s Wings, First Literary Review-East, and Typoetic.us, and in three self-published chapbooks: Revision (2010), In Celebration of Hope and Change (2009) andPercussion Suite (2008).
Zev’s spoken word performances expand on his creative process, often melding his own poetry into new pieces, and freely employing the words of others -- Ovid, Neruda, Rossetti and Angelou, to name a few –creating elaborate and unexpected constructs.
In 2010, Zev founded the Skewered Syntax Poetry Crawls and, since 2008, has hosted Make Music New York’s annual Spoken Word Spectacular.
After Zev's reading we will have the open mic. So put a poem in your pocket and come down and read, or just relax and enjoy some great poetry.
