Black Blocks, White Squares

“Black Blocks, White Squares … combines wit and fun with political potency. Beautifully designed and carried out, Leonard Williams offers a series of puzzles that can both educate and entertain about the systems of domination that abide in an imperialist world.”–Benjamin Tausig, editor, American Values Club Crosswords

“Leonard Williams adheres to standard crossword conventions but incorporates content solvers won’t encounter in puzzles published in the mainstream media. His themes include intersectionality, mutual aid, and social ecology.”–Raymond Simon, editor of Games World of Puzzles Magazine
