Francisco X. Alarcón is an award-winning poet who grew up in two countries: he spent time as a child in both Mexico and the United States. Songs he heard from his indigenous grandmother first inspired Alarcón's poetry, which he presents for readers in both English and in Spanish. In this exclusive video interview with ¡Colorín Colorado! Francisco Alarcón speaks about his Hispanic heritage and how it makes him a "a bi-national, bicultural, bilingual poet."
