“Because nothing should be wasted
In a world where sparrows work hard
To prove there is enough.”
Gary Soto, The Elements of San Joaquin (Pitt Poetry

“It appears these days I don't have much of a life because my nose is often stuck in a book. But I discovered that reading builds a life inside the mind.”
Gary Soto

“This shit is magic-you'd have to be a Black girl to understand.
Show 'em how it all got started
How the bricks got laid
That this is what happens when the ink spills
When your ancestors dance your worth awake,”
Ebony Stewart, The BreakBeat Poets, Vol. 2: Black Girl Magic

“The black asphalt wouls shimmer with vapors I had a theory about those vapors...not released by the sun but by a huge onion buried under the city. This onion made us cry... I thought about the giant onion, that remarkable bulb of sadness.”
Gary Soto, Buried Onions
