"To say this woman has a way with words is a serious understatement. She can not only make you feel what she is saying, she can take you there, put you right in the middle of it. This is not happy little songs to get you through your life, this is the truth,with nothing held back. Alix is nothing less than extraordinary."

"Alix Olson has created a spoken word album that one is able to groove to at the same time! Her poetry is thought provoking. It has the ability to make you laugh, cry, and want to change the world in the next minute. Congrats on an album that everyone who considers themselves human should hear."
More than Just Ani Difranco

"It's easy to say that Alix is just copying Ani Difranco, especially if you're a huge Difranco fan. But, let's be honest, folks, I really think that Alix is unique and very, very clever. Her poetry is more than just words, it's what all writers grasp for... a voice. She can make us all look back and wonder what life is really like. She has a tour coming up and I highly recommend you check out her web page for details. I won't miss it for the world."
I need originality to be inspired

"I think it's great that this woman stands so strongly behind her convictions and she is clearly a very talented poet. I just wonder why talented artists who clearly have an abundance of creativity cannot find their own voices and instead insist upon copying Ani Difranco's style. This makes the album painful for me to listen to. Clearly, Alix is an amazing poet. However, hearing her recite them is like listening to someone trying to mimick Ani Difranco. She is great at sounding like her. I honestly could not tell the difference. Sorry, but I think thats kind of lame. I can't listen to Alix. I think she is extremely talented...yet this whole business of stealing Ani's style... I can't stand it. It happens to often and it is just..kind of lame. What happened to originality? If I want Ani, I'll listen to her. Otherwise I'd just like to read Alix's poems."
