When he was a child, his favorite tío (uncle) leaned over him and asked him, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Poet," he replied. He doesn't know where that answer came from, but he knew then and now that he meant it. His tío smiled at him and said "How you gonna' build a house made of poems?" He has never forgotten that conversation with his tío. He and his wife Aída refer to their home as the house made of poems. House Made of Poems is also the title of a forthcoming quasi-autobiographical novel that he is currently writing.
