Originally from Gravesend Brooklyn, Peter Marra lived in the East Village, New York from 1979 to 1993 during the punk – no wave era. His work often deals with the people we rarely notice – addicts, the unhoused, sex workers, etc. seen through a surrealist lens.
His published works include approximate lovers, Peep-O-Rama, Vanished Faces, Random Crucifixions and a neo-giallo novel, A Naked Kiss from a Broken Doll.
His newest poetry / prose collection, A Dirty Diary of Ordinary Days recounting his time spent haunting Times Square and the East Village of NYC circa 1977-1990 was published by INCUNABULA MEDIA in 2025.
