Crawford’s work can elicit an otherworldly response in a very short span of words as if inventing a new way of experience...This is, no doubt, an important work...Crawford takes topics and presents them in a way that’s intellectually divergent. ~Windy City Reviews
"This book is so unique, so unusual. Generations from now it could look like a found artifact of an ancient culturally designed sacred text...an intriguing artwork that renews and refreshes my hope that the future of artistic, intellectual, and moral humanity is in good hands." ~Mark Blickley
"I...love how (Kahlil) play(s) with typography—particularly the visual aspects of typography—in both the text and the book design. It makes even the plain text feel like part of the visual art. It's a captivating marriage of art (in multiple mediums) and manifesto." ~Lindsay Lusby
"The book is beautiful. He has a sensibility - a Rhyme and a Rhythm that makes reading his work enjoyable - whether it's the Poetry...the essays...all the insights...but it's also visual, it's a whole concept...it's a piece of Art." ~Jannae Jordan
