Arts and Media August 2018 PREMIUM Carlos Bravo, A Manos Llenas, Blessings From the Gods by<b> Sylvia Mendoza</b> Carlos Bravo is one of those soft-spoken souls whose words take on more depth in their storytelling capacity. He appreciates words, languages, literature. As a poet, each word weighs heavy on interpretation and connectivity, emotion and perspective. The poems he’s written freezeframe highlights and lowlights of individuals and society, observations and desires for humankind, emotional and heartfelt snapshots of life in action. The title of his compilation, “AMBROSÍA: A MANOS LLENAS,” gives thanks to the nectar of the gods—and acknowledges that if we accept life’s gifts with open hands, our lives will be filled with abundance. by Sylvia Mendoza
