ITEM OVERVIEW
The first (print) collection of spoken word poetry from the internationally touring folk poet and spoken word artist. The majority of the 20 pieces herein also appear on her CD of the same name, though there are a couple of "extra" ones. Fortunately, for everyone concerned, the printed page takes away none of the fire, quick wit, in your face politics, and sly insight that characterize the extraordinary range of Olson's work. And its full of endearing snapshots too! As the book proclaims, Olson's words are a triage of peace, protest, and laughter.
"Alix brought me to my feet. She is an ingenious poet, a brilliant performer, a funny person and serious thinker. She is, quite simply, extraordinary." —Howard Zinn
