Abstract
Throughout the three texts, A Fire in My Hands, Neighborhood Odes, and Where Sparrows Work Hard, gary soto uses small and normally insignificant items as the focus of many poems in these texts, celebrating them with odes and sharing the stories behind them in narrative poems. He does this in order to show one of his primary audiences, children, that everything and every person in the world has a story that deserves to be heard. He is teaching them that everything and everyone has a purpose, a story, and importance in the world. Similarly, soto is also teaching his readers that everything can be a subject for good poetry. He proves that poetry does not have to always be about abstract or confusing ideas. By taking everyday objects that most people can relate to, soto shows that poetry can be a celebration and a storytelling of even the smallest and most insignificant things.
