Autorenporträt

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Sotère Torregian is an American poet of Ethiopian, Arabic, Greek, Armenian, and Moorish ancestry. After attending Rutgers University, he taught at the Free University of New York, Santa Clara University, and Stanford University, where he helped establish the Afro-American studies program in 1969. In the mid-1960s he was associated with the New York School of poets. At that time he proposed a kind of American "orthodox Surrealism,” based on "reinterpretations of surrealist stands on Revolutionary perspectives in art, poetry, and theology.” He currently teaches at the University of the Pacific and resides in Stockton, California.
