Rodrigo Toscano is an experimental poet and labor activist, based in New York. He has curated the Double Happiness reading series and is author of Partisans (O Books, 1999) and The Disparities (Green Integer, 2001). Atelos will bring out Platform, a major new collection, this year. Barrett Watten has written: “Toscano brilliantly renews a tradition of poetics based in the structuring work of grammar. His work is an ethical disquisition ‘As against / The set relations’ that revises much current doxa on the nature of linguistic agency.” | |
