      Baus’ enigmatic phrasing and fugal music pushes outward to, towards the Other. That there is no guarantee of reply gives these poems the sense of vulnerability and imperative that provides a good deal of their emotional weight.

      Baus tugs at the old heart strings like a Romantic, but with his own brand of emotion. His poetry is a sophisticated and thrilling crawl through the garden, all of it fake and all of it real.
      Olivia Cronk, Bookslut

      Eric Baus gives rise to the alchemical cartography of sound disrupting language to reveal its constructedness through the complex alloy of the sentence and the potential of the sentence to reframe perspective.
      Jane Sprague, Rain Taxi
