Testimonials:
"...low has a hell of an ear for language. Those are some downright beautiful sentences...the guy gives good aural."
- Glen Weldon, Washington City Paper
"...a scream (sometimes literally) for critical thought and intellectual clarity...surely not lacking in original, brainy tones."
- Quinton Skinner, Minneapolis City Pages
