"You can respect an author's soul and labor putting no rubber stamp on their art. RJ Bauer's collection Reflections: Images of Life's Experiences through Poetry and illuminates a point of view. Many fall in line for and practically throb with passion. This volume of prose, acrostic, and free verse poetry, however, has more values as inspirational literature than traditional verse. This is a collection of short works and lifts readers up to their better selves and singing the praises of creativity." -John McCall

"Erato is a fickle muse but RJ Bauer is a close friend. Her book "Reflections ..." inspires readers and muses alike." -PA Stockwell, Author

"Poems are usually words straight from the heart - a way to convey the deepest part of someone's joys, loves, and sorrows. RJ Bauer has done this beautifully. She shares a part of her soul in each poem and lets the reader see what she sees and feel what she feels. You may even see a little of yourself in her words." -JL Emmons, Author

"Your Haiku poems make me High! Excellent work!" -Marshall Miller, Author
