"VULTURES and Other Poems is nothing but a masterpiece. Bautista's poems speak volume, a true page-turner—it reflects his innermost, unfiltered thoughts: honest, pure... and vulnerable. I see myself smile on poems about family, feel light-hearted on poems about life and jot down notes on poems re writing. Bautista knows how to weave the right words at the right time and place. He is his writing and his writing is him." - MAINE LASAR (Novelist)
