Bittersweet is one of the finest collections of poetry that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Each one moved me differently, and the poet's mastery of the English language, combined with the flow and rhythm that Pablo Camacho imbued into each poem, transported me in a way that only the best poets can. The themes and characteristics of some of the poems were reminiscent of some of the finest love stories of our time, and you can feel that the poet has drawn on a lifetime of inspiration to create such a spectacular collection of poetry.”
