Sotère Torregian

Sotère Torregian is an American poet, born in Newark, New Jersey on June 25, 1941. He attended Rutgers University, and taught briefly at the Free University of New York 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" (following the dictates of André Breton), based on "reinterpretations of surrealist stands on Revolutionary perspectives in art, poetry, and theology." He presently resides in Stockton, California.
