Actual Tigers, Author William Crawford's second collection of poetry, is a thing of alchemy, more journey than tale. The poems of this collection have a unique pulse and purpose. The keen use of language, musicality and cinematic imagery is articulate and sophisticated. Actual Tigers is more than a book, Crawford has brought to life something far more important than simply writing great poetry. As a storyteller his poems and the overall sentimentality of Actual Tigers unleashes in the reader something imperative and reminds us of the importance of living "In the Depths of Something Good" while we still have the chance.
