My affinity for theater really began with a love affair with words. I went to many poetry readings and I think the fascination began there. Also, my grandfather was a well-known poet in Spain and so perhaps the love of language is in the blood. I fell in love with words at a young age and the world that can be created via language, which of course lead to theater.
Some of my favorite poets are:
Ildefonso Manuel Gil (my grandfather), Sandra Cisneros, e.e.cummings, Alice Walker, Sharon Olds, Mary Oliver, Jane Kenyon, Laure-Ann Bosselaar, Pablo Neruda, Marge Piercy, Maya Angelou, Hafiz, Erika Jong, Langston Hughes, Audre Lorde.
