Gary Soto (b. 1952) Contributing Editor: Raymund Paredes Classroom Issues and Strategies As a Chicano working-class poet, Soto sometimes uses figurative language that might be unfamiliar to and difficult for some readers. Occasionally, he uses a Spanish word or phrase. As a poet with a strong sense of kinship with people who are poor, neglected, and oppressed, Soto tries to create poetry out of ordinary working-class experience and images. All this is very different from typically bourgeois American poetry. It is useful to connect Soto's work to contemporary events in Mexican-American experience. Reading a bit about Cesar Chavez and the California farm worker struggle places some of Soto's sympathies in context. General reading in Chicano (or Mexican-American) history would also be useful. It is also useful to consider Soto among other contemporary poets whose sensibilities were shaped by the post-1960s struggles to improve the circumstances of minority groups and the poor. Urge students to try to see the world from the point of view of one of Soto's working-class Chicanos, perhaps a farm worker. From this perspective, one sees things very differently than from the point of view generally presented in American writing. For the tired, underpaid farm worker, nature is neither kind nor beautiful, as, for example, Thoreau would have us believe. Soto writes about the choking dust in the fields, the danger to the workers' very existence that the sun represents. Imagine a life without many creature comforts, imagine feelings of hunger, imagine the pain of knowing that for the affluent and comfortable, your life counts for very little.

About ClassZone eServices Web Research Guide Contact Us ... Online Store Language Arts: Novel Guides Home Language Arts Novel Guides Author Profiles Gary Soto Gary Soto writes about the lives of Mexican Americans, about nature, and about personal dreams. He grew up in a Mexican-American community in Fresno, California, where at various times in his childhood he wanted to be a priest, a hobo, and a paleontologist. In college Soto planned to study geography, but then he discovered poetry. "I don't think I had any literary aspirations when I was a kid," he says. "We didn't have books, and no one encouraged us to read. So my wanting to write poetry was a sort of fluke." As a result of that "fluke," Soto has been writing poetry, novels, and short stories for young readers and adults ever since college. At the age of 25 he published a poetry collection, , that won the 1976 United States Award of the International Poetry Forum. A collection of his autobiographical pieces, Living up the Street , won the American Book Award of the Before Columbus Foundation. His young-adult novels include

Why Whitt Bell why? Why do you pollute the msg boards of a website dedicated to poetry and poets alike with phrases of 'i hate this guy, i think all poetry is stupid.' Its obvious you don't understand the greater meaning behind written works of literature and, in turn, it shows that your an illiterate twit who is a prime example of ignorance everywhere. Your kind infest the world and, like a parasite, feast on the living Word of others while producing nothing of your own. You are a hypocrite and a louse; you should spout your words of stupidity elsewhere. Leave us in peace.

INTRODUCTION Soto is recognized as one of America's best Chicano writers. Incorporating his working-class background and Hispanic culture into his poetry and prose, he addresses such social issues as discrimination, violence, and poverty. Commentators maintain that Soto's ability to transcend solely personal and local concerns has established him as a major contemporary author. Biographical Information A third-generation Mexican American, Soto was born in Fresno, California, and raised in the San Joaquin Valley where, as a child, he worked as a farm laborer. Attending Fresno City College, Soto initially majored in geography before transferring to Fresno State, now California State University, in the early 1970s. Inspired by Donald Allen and Robert Creeley's anthology The New American Poetry, 1945-60
