“This collection of poetry offers a thoughtful, passionate journey into the heritage, life, and soul of the author, Raymondo Polanco. The verses reveal sharp insight into Mr. Polanco’s visceral connection to the memories, people, and heart of the Dominican Republic. The book chronicles the love, lust, loyalty, and betrayal attributed to the diverse relationships of the author’s life; perhaps the most poignantly honest is his complex, touching, yet heartbreaking connection with his late mother. It is an erotic, overt, and raw work that was obviously inspired by untamed human emotion. To truly experience the rhythm and beauty of the work, reading the verses in Spanish is most effective, but the translation to English is very well done. The warmth of the island, the fiery emotion, and the sizzling eroticism make Mr. Polanco’s book a hot read”.

“Most dear friend … before anything I would like to thank you for the beautiful dedication, I feel very flattered and blessed with your words … I read slowly to concentrate , up until now I read with much emotion the verses dedicated to RAMONA PIMENTEL, very beautiful, it made me cry, because I truly remembered my mother, I did not read the rest entirely, I simply skipped past a few pages, I stopped at a few verses and sincerely I congratulate you for the entire book and I will be writing to you again, but since now I tell you that I like it a lot, a lot and once again, thank you very much … With all my love I wish you the best of success, your friend ”

“In his new bilingual collection, You and Me Amidst the Poems, Raimundo Polanco writes with insight and compassion. He reaches out not only to the Gay and Hispanic communities, but also to people of all backgrounds and from all walks of life. Drawing from personal experiences, Polanco creates a collage of powerful images tied together by the cultural richness of his native tongue and the colorful translations. Polanco has built a bridge between cultures that few writers have dared to cross.”

“You and I Midst Poems and Verses” is a very moving piece of literature. In his writing Raymond Polanco successfully brought every poem to live. By reading his poems and verses one can feel every emotion that Raymond expresses in them, from sorrow to happiness, far from hate to love; feelings and emotions that we all go through in our lives.”
