Böcker av William Crawford

Born into Nazi Germany and growing up during World War II, Wolfgang Klaiber's story is unique. School was a struggle, and he was a disappointment to his father. Yet, he was given a fresh start when he immigrated to America, earned a doctorate degree, and became an expert in his field. He was a man who had risen out of the undesirable circumstances and personal hardships of his youth to attain success in a highly respected professional career. But while he had done very well in his professional life, his personal life had suffered under the all-too-familiar grip of alcoholism. While many stories that involve alcoholism end with personal destruction and an admonishment of what not to do, there is inspiration in Wolf's story. Wolf came to understand that despite everything he had been through, God had been right there with him, holding out a helping hand. His life had been directed by God.Wolf's story became one of encouragement and hope.This is why his story is worth telling.

"Fire in the Marrow" is his first poetry collection. William lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is an animal rights activist. 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.
