About What Happens Is Neither:

"What an amazing book--and right now you need to go get a copy and sit down and read it. Here's a line from Torres's book that I love because it's just how I am feeling: "the sun feels like medicine." YES!"
—Tim Seibles

"In images drawn from nature ('what the body remembers') and a pitch perfect ear, her lines reach the profound sadness and beauty of human existence, finding speech for what both demands and resists utterance."
—Eleanor Wilner
