	CD Baby: ALIX OLSON: Independence Meal
		Alix Olson is one part spoken word, one part peace rally, one part protest.
		It's Alix Olson with a deeper sense of meaning and an almost sorrow in her voice that shows how committed she is to her work.
		Alix has her own special way of tearing her heart from her chest and showing us each artery.

	MetroActive Stage \| Alix Olson
		WHEN SPOKEN-WORD POET Alix Olson took the stage at the 1998 National Poetry Slam last summer in Austin, Texas, she had a daunting task ahead of her.
		Olson's stop at Cedar Street's Atelier Gallery on Sunday is part of her West Coast tour de force.
		In the tradition of legendary poet Audre Lorde, who Olson says is "everything" to her, she works to transform silence into action with wit and grace.

	Rambles: Alix Olson, Independence Meal
		Olson is by turns thoughtful, observant, vengeful, passionate and iconoclastic, sometimes spitting out her words so fast the listener is challenged to keep up with her.
		Olson has issued a book version of the poems on her first album, Built Like This; one can hope she will do the same for Independence Meal as well.
		Although there are times when Olson shouts slogans or hits the obvious hot-button issues, much of the time her poems meander through the different images summoned up by the subject.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Alix Olson: Independence Meal
		Alix Olson's second album of confrontational spoken word poetry will succeed or fail with even the most openminded listeners on the basis of these three questions.
		In "Womyn Before", Olson pays tribute to her mother and heroines, while a "hidden" thirteenth track takes a crack at overbearing patriarchs.
		At her worst, Olson is self-aggrandizing and self-righteous, but even then, her poetry and the band behind it shine brightly; it's just a little easier to take when you don't think she's angry at you.

	AfterEllen.com - Review of Alix Olson's Independence Meal
		Alix has been a poetry slam champion and it is obvious through her vocal delivery that she is a skilled spoken word performer.
		The title track, “Independence Meal,” does a better job of underlining Alix’s politically progressive position while simultaneously seducing the listener with her voice, which is alternately husky, sinuous, and forthright.
		When Alix turns her eye to feminism, she speaks with a sharp, focused intensity that is both inspiring and sexy.

	Alix Olson: Word Warrior (News) Elizabeth DiNovella (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As Elizabeth DiNovella writes in The Progressive, Alix Olson "first became involved with the poetry slam scene in the late 1990s, when she moved to New York City 'with the intention to change the world.' She went to the Nuyorcian Poets' Cafe with some guitar lyrics and performed them as poems.
		After her Nuyorcian Poets' slam team won the National Poetry Slam in 1998, Olson hit the road with her poems, ranging in theme from solidarity to SUV's and sex to modern day slavery.
		Although Olson is on the road, performing, 300 days a year and lives out of her van, she still acts as goddess to her own production company and records material for her spoken word CD's.
