Peter Marra Bio:
Peter Marra’s writings explore alienation, addiction, love, secrets, obsessions and the pain of victimization. He has been manipulated by trash culture and fine art. He is the child of the films of Roger Corman and Russ Meyer, the works of the Symbolists and the NYC underground. Originally from Gravesend Brooklyn, Peter lived in the East Village, New York from 1979 to 1993 at the height of the No Wave/Punke era. His work has the ability to unnerve but always has a purpose.
Peter has had over 300 poems published either in print or online in over 25 journals.
His published works include approximate lovers (downtown materialaktion) (Bone Orchard Press), Peep-O-Rama: Sins of the Go-Go Girls (Hammer & Anvil Books),Vanished Faces (a performance of occult infections) (Writing Knights Press), Random Crucifixions: Obsessions, Dolls and Maniac Cameras (Hammer & Anvil Books), and a surrealist neo-giallo novel, A Naked Kiss from a Broken Doll, (Hamer & Anvil Books).
His newest poetry collection A Dirty Diary of Ordinary Days recounting his time spent haunting Times Square and the East Village of NYC circa 1977-1983 associating with characters of questionable morals will be published by INCUNABULA MEDIA in November, 2024.
