Reviews

In an age where poetry is prominent by the selves of most prevalent self-definition (too, by like-minded thoughts creating intertwining ideologies), Crawford needn't qualify himself as a poet through the eyes of his very own, for he is easily identifiable by the markings his poetry creates across the psyche of his fortunate readers."
    - Felino A. Soriano, author of Apperceptions of Reinterpretations

"Drink deeply, all ye who revel in the ability of language to spark perceptual transcendence - William Crawford offers hope and sustenance for aesthetes mired in the all-too-often catachrestic wasteland of modern popular poetry."
   - Rich Follett, co-author of Responsorials

"Crawford isn't afraid to shoot the rapids, and anyone who is capable of flying will find their arms much more malleable after soaring along these canyons of his rhythmic vision."
   - Scott Wannberg, author of Strange Movie Full of Death

"A sentinel calling us to rise above our need for distance from the pain of life, Crawford is a singular patron poet-saint reminding us of the beauty we can draw from the marrow of afflictions. "
   - Karen Bowles, Publisher, Luciole Press
