About this short prose:

In January of 2015 I was asked to give three readings of my work at the University of Alabama Gadsden Center. At the first one I thanked the people who came to hear me, and told them I thought they had a right to know if I could write or not, right from the beginning. So I told them I would play them the audio version of "The Killing of Train-Man Brown", and that afterward, if anyone wanted to leave, there would be no hard feelings. No one left. And when the first hour and a half meeting was over and I went home, I felt something towards those people. So much so, that I wrote this piece, Great Crowds of Angels: Everything I Know About You, for them. At the second meeting I read it to them, and they seemed genuinely touched by it. I hope you will be, too. Sincerely, Will.
