Puro awesome.

Along with my father, Trinidad Sanchez, Raul was one of the best teachers and poets I could've ever come across. His death deeply saddens me but all we can do now is inspire the youth of today to have a voice, just as these two men did. VIVA LA RAZA! RIP Raul!

That was a magical night. Rest in peace brotha!

It was a great honor to meet this great poet, thinker, activist, elder. You are now our ancestor. Tlazocamati. We are blessed to have met you in chiapas. Aztlan Underground

Raul was an intriguing Chicano that I hung out with on several occasions in Austin, Tejas. Someday in the future, when I hear his words spoken again, I will always fondly remember this wisp of a man with a big heart and a complex soul. To me he is a giant. May he rest in peace.

I had the pleasure, and HONOR to share the mic with this wonderful and brilliant man... He was a master of the Pachuco-Jazz-Beat style, and not many poets remain that can measure up to him... I am saddened by his loss, but I know that in a little private corner of heaven, Raul, Lalo, Richard, and Cesar are all gathered together whoopin it up and writing pieces that will shape eternity and infulence earthbound poets to pursue a perfection of their craft and to create as he created!

Raúl R. Salinas, Presente! You will be missed comrade! As long as there is a Calaca Press you will be remembered and honored.

raulr you were the boss -- gracias por todos estos años que nos diste tus palabras, tu corazón, tu vida total. You were on fire and you were a man of peace. Gracias for being a poeta total Del Terre. I am gonna miss you querido hermano. Blessings all the way, to light your way...Om Mani Padme Hum tu carnal, Juanfelipe
