The "Little Experiences" of a Poet Heart
By Karmina Lopez
“Am I an artist? Am I a poet? I am a child full of love and exciting dreams… I am neither a sailor nor a captain; I am just a child eager to succeed… I am neither an artist nor a painter, I just write poetry full of love.”
With an enticing vocabulary of truth and romance, the young poet Juan Carlos Recinos caught gasps of seduction in the audience of Barco de Papel bookstore, when presenting the second edition of his first poetry book, “Mis pequeñas experiencias” (My Little Experiences), during the month of November in Elmhurst, Queens.
“Mis pequeñas experiencias” comes from those moments of my young life when I was between 15 and 16 years old,” said the Salvadorian poet. “What I try to demonstrate in “Mis pequeñas experiencias”, as well as in my other three poetry books, is that youth happens once in a life time and that it is trapped in these poems They are personal poems but also universal; anyone who reads them can relate to these experiences.”
Just as Recinos describes in the introduction to his book, his love to poetry began in December 31st, 2005. While everyone was preparing to welcome the New Year, the young poet took a pencil and a paper to write everything he wished. Over time, his first poetry book emerges from writings composed of small inspiration in verses. It was precisely at that moment when the young poet defeated the gangster that he could have become, as he had defeated the novice heartbreaker.
“You do not need to be in love to write poetry,” he said. “The poem does not come only from love, it also comes from feelings that one has. But I think love is a long and broad topic, from which everything blossoms.”
Inside “Mis pequeñas experiencias”, there are verses full of love and joy, as well as poems of doubt, fear and anxiety. The poet himself acknowledges that words serve to expand our understanding of youth.
“One has to begin reading what catches our attention. One has to be curious to see what’s inside a book, because one enters a totally different world; one explores and travels through literature and through the words.”
In addition, participants also expressed their admiration for the young prolific of letters.
“It’s striking to be inspired and get inspired from young people,” said Daysi Manzano, master student in public administration. “It’s beautiful.”
Arely Escobar, a student at York College, and also Salvadorian added: “I love the poetry he writes. I am so proud that he is from country because he is a young man who is moving forward.”
On the other hand, Ramon Caraballo, owner of Barco de Papel bookstore, also took the opportunity to talk about the poet.
“It’s very encouraging that people like Juan Carlos, who is supposed to be attracted to other events, is focused in literature. I think this is a step forward and demonstrates that all is not lost."
