"Mr. Crowder has a great talent for introspection and writes speeches which reflect his interest and concern about the uncertainty and unfairness of life [speeches] full of well-crafted and beautiful lines. . . . [His] works are always curiously compelling and this one [Bring Down Glory: The Disaster Number 1604 Series] does not disappoint."-Patrick Shannon III Ambush Gay News Review
