In Nylons for Parachutes, Torres continues to give his readers poetry through the lens of an intense observer of life. Mixed with his iconic dark humor and brutal honesty, he makes us chuckle, question, judge, and mourn. From the simple tasks that we all have to do from day to day, to incidents in his own life that readers may be able to identify with, Torres is able to make one thing clear: we are all strange travelers through an even stranger journey called life.
