I'm in love with handmade books, trees and bright colors. Writing is my passion, so is dancing in spacious living rooms. For the past ten years I have been working on unique books as well as limited editions of poetry books. I also create unique journals and cards. Feel free to comment and share your thoughts with me: asirayworks [!at] hotmail.com.

Thanks!

Some facts:
Yarisa Colón Torres (1977) was born in Puerto Rico, and moved to Queens, New York when she was fourteen. She publishes her poetry by creating unique handmade books. Caja de voces (collaboration with Waleska Rivera, 2006), ¿Entrelínea o secuestro? (French translation by Yarín Medina Gil, 2007), Sin cabeza (revised edition by Taller Asiray, 2011) are among her latest publications. Recently, she also published a limited edition of Cibeles que sueña=Cybele As She Dreams, a poetry book written by Lourdes Vázquez and translated by Enriqueta Carrington. Currently, she is working on a limited edition of Los Desajustados, a novel by Rojo Robles.

Yarisa has shared her work at museums, universities and street fairs in Puerto Rico and abroad. Her work has been reviewed by El Diario/La Prensa, AHA Magazine, Claridad newspaper, Revista Ping Pong and Revista del Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, among others.

In 2003, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (NY) invited her to be part of the project “Puerto Rican Writers: History and Context”, which provides a space in the general archive to preserve and share her documents.
