Praise for Robert J. Baumann and
Robert J. Baumann's A Man About Town:
A city that is wrapped in itself is surely a group of peaked roofs in a blanket, thought Milwaukee to itself. Milwaukee wrapped inside Milwaukee glanced at a bratwurst sent by Robert J. Baumann as a compensatory gift for leaving. Milwaukee had been needy, “bacony as hell”. Then Milwaukee shook it’s several heads. From inside the leaking flaps of Milwaukee’s Iron Vagina, Bob Ueker’s voice hollered out an unintelligible thing. There was no more chorus in Milwaukee, a vacuum where there used to be a man about town. -- Milwaukee
Robert J. Baumann is a overt pervert who likes to twirl the red hat tips of his grandma's garden gnomes around in his butthole, in an Applebee's parking lot, during the lunch hour rush. Kansas, my black eye. He's Detroit all the way--rolling shirtless in broken glass, drinking Malibu Rum and Fanta, doing double dutch, wearing his fave braided metallic terry cloth headband. Behold: the scurvic futureman. -- Jennifer Knox
This book makes me want to climb the highest tree in the Apalachicola National Forest and cry " Robert J. Baumann', I love you! Write me a letter!" --Willow Ufgood
When they ask about him I say he’s a man about town, that Mr. Baumann. He’s the proud owner of guns, pens and crevice oils, and a slinger of carnal moss. And I am that rancher of soft things and I am not sorry. My fear of this Mr. Baumann inevitably led to my completely active and quick avoidance of bitches and their relatives. I will not be undone by love, nor by nostalgia—this game is authentic and burning, sir. Don’t say the money didn’t warn you. Most sincerely yours -- Kurtwood Smith
"I have never had sex with Robert J. Baumann" -- Chloé Cooper Jones
Dear reader of Robert Baumann's "A Man About Town," Robert is taking his sweet time publishing my chapbook (which is going to fucking freak you when it comes out), but the waiting just got filthier thanks to these sopping epistolaries. Robin Yount and I got hecka blunted and read these poems aloud to each other all morning and we came to the conclusion that this chapbook is more nocturnal emission than Rosie O'Donnell, you know? -- Brandon Brown
Dear Robert J. Baumann,
Thank you, thank you
I wove a rope from gold
and tied a lasso
so heads up
rover
now I pull you
over
With my Julia Roberts mask on,
-- Kari Freitag
In "A Man About Town," Robert J. Baumann writes with a greatness in his
member. Decadence, drug use, and sexual pleasure pulse through the
words as Baumann longs for connections through letters. Forget
Michael J. Fox, I would trade my teen wolf for time in the closet with
Baumann. --Boof
"If I could have a baby with Robert Baumann, I would have that baby. We would name him Gordon Schumway, and we would live on a farm and can peaches. His first word would be "balls.'" -- Cush
Dear Robert J. Baumann, China is forever linked to its ancient civilization, friendly people, and many of the world’s most revered treasures, such as The Great Wall, Terra-Cotta Warriors & Horses, and the Yangtze River. Today, one can also find spectacular architecture and towering skylines in Shanghai and Beijing (site of the 2008 Summer Olympics), a wealth of luxury accommodations, and—as always—exquisite cuisine. Come and see why China is drawing millions of visitors from all over the world. And why each and every one of them returns home smiling! :) Love --The Chinese P. S. No tickee, no wifee.
Can eat Robert J. Baumann's A Man About Town? -- Fat Tina
I texted Texan David Bowie: “I bought your ticket. You are leaving on Thursday.” He did not respond. Prick. And btw, when I say hi to you in the street, at least nod. All my love -- RUT
Robert J. Bauman is the (not evil) Jimmy Carter of poetry. -- Mo Burford
He has the social touch down. He has the world's best social touch I have ever seen. He will social touch people all over. But he doesn't know how to neg. -- Mystery
