The Bags We Carry

Arts & Literature

“Harold Recinos’s poems entwine with a complex but necessary tradition of Spanish Humanism, extending those roots over the structural collapse of national orders and the global consensus that has held those orders, tenuously and often troublingly, in place. In place of that ongoing collapse, Harold Recinos’s newest collection of poems, The Bags We Carry, abides with the spirit of individual dignity, ethical inquiry, practical faith, and necessary reform. These are poems from a deep philosophical and theological history made for our challenged times.”
