Abstract

An interview with poet and author of bilingual children's books Jorge Argueta is presented. Argueta discusses how growing up in El Salvador and his later move to San Francisco, California shaped him as a writer, as seen in his poetry collection "A Movie in My Pillow/Una película en mi almohada." He also discusses writing his poetry in Spanish and performing his own translation, the use of food in his poetry, and his Annual Festival of Children's Poetry festival held in El Salvador and San Francisco.
