News at Eleven (Back Page): [Gary Soto] is the author of 11

poetry collections for adults and winner of several awards including the Human and Civil Right Award, the Literature Award from the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, and the PEN Center West Book Award for his young-adult short story collection "Petty Crimes".

And now, an entire museum bears Gary Soto's name at Fresno City College, where his love for writing was born. "My first publications were two poems in a 1972 spring issue of the Rampage," said Soto. "We all must begin somewhere."
