In choosing to explore universal concerns ... Cromwell-Smith II strikes an ideal balance ...

Bluelnk (starred Review)

... Leaning ... toward delivering lessons, the poems are lightly grammatical and practical, focused on solving life problems Ilks heartbreak, complex relationships, important decision making, and answering questions about the meaning of fife and achieving happiness ... Poems are effortless and concise, with themes that with the poignancy of their subject matter lends themselves to discussion and meditation ... The free-verse poems could be written out in paragraph form and still remain moving ...

Clarion Review

I would say that The Equilibrist is perhaps the most inspirational, intellectually and emotionally rewarding book I've ever performed.
