TOMAS RIVERA " I started writing when I was about twelve, and motivation came from the people in my environment and from reading mainly. I was fascinated by the whole world of imagination and wanted to create. The short story came first. My mood at a given time determines what I want to write - poetry, fiction, nonfiction - but I always enjoy the short story. All reading is an attempt to capture or structure the world of ideas, whether it is expressed in a short story, poetry, or a carefully written essay. The world of ideas and inventiveness all speaks of people, and I enjoy meeting them, talking with them, observing them." This statement is taken from Reflections in Higher Education, 1984.
