Marco A. Soto was born and raised in Guatemala. At school, he would think about the external world through his voracious curiosity and love for the outdoors. On Sundays, while others attended church, the Soto family went to the soccer field to watch their father play.

At the age of thirteen, Marco A. Soto moved to New Jersey, graduated from high school, and joined the United States Marine Corps. These ten years of service and travel were instrumental to Marco A. Soto’s growth.

Today, he is rekindling his appreciation for nature and enjoys collecting, growing, buying, selling, and donating plants. Poetry enables Marco A. Soto to reflect on specific moments and stages of his life.
