MARIO THEADORE CANTO was born in Los Angeles, California on April 21, 1988.
Much of his poetry is influenced by the socioeconomic and cultural
landscapes of his time. Canto.s work calls into question the essence of
humanity itself, often times featuring themes that revolve around the human
experience. Philosophical with a touch of cheeky wit, his works was designed
to create laughter, longing, and concern for a more unified union of people.
Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Mario Canto was exposed to the many
problems of living in the inner city ghetto. His own father passed away at a
young age as result of dealing drugs. In March of 2006, Canto.s mother
passed away due to breast cancer which left him with a pain that he would
make great efforts to understand. He moved in with his aunt Rochelle Ponds
of whom shouldered him at no cost. School was never a strong point for him,
almost always earning mediocre grades just to scrape by. Graduating from Los
Angeles High School just three months later in June of 2006, Canto moved
forward with the promises he made his mother stating, .A man.s word is only
as strong as he is.. In 2007 he moved again but of his own volition, with
the great philosopher John Coleman of whom would help him graduate from West
Los Angeles Community College in 2008. Originally, Mario Canto would write
poems and lose track of them but John Coleman encouraged him to collect his
works because of their content. Spending an entire year trying to be .free,.
Mario Canto moved from one small town to the next throughout 2008 to 2009
where he would find himself between a .rock and a hard place.. While on his
journey, he had been admitted into the University of California, Santa
Barbara. Starting in the summer of 2009, he would be the first person in his
family to finish with his Bachelors of Arts Degree in English Literature in
the summer of 2010, exactly one year while abroad in Paris, France claiming,
.If you hate school enough, you will get through it as quick as possible and
save yourself a few dollars and a headache. Or just not go at all if it
won.t benefit you.. He continues to write poetry and promises the release of
a novel in the near future.
