His plays and body-movement poems have been performed at the Disney Redcat Theater in Los Angeles, Links Hall in Chicago, Ontological-Hysteric Poet’s Theater Festival, and elsewhere. Toscano’s work has been included in multiple anthologies and translated into seven different languages. He won the Edward Markham Prize for Poetry in 2019. He lives in New Orleans.
