"Verbal Fireworks"

Alix Olson has been called a "spoken word diva," a "road poet on a mission" and a "word warrior." She calls her voice her "weapon of choice" and her powerful work contains equal doses of humor, anger and compassion.

A champion slam poet, Olson introduced the new urban literary genre to Europe at Rotterdam's Poetry International. As an activist, she's been honored for her exceptional commitment to social justice in Washington D.C. But at the same time, a conservative women's organization put her on their list of Ten Most Dangerous Women in America.

Alix Olson displays her verbal fireworks on Arts & Culture.
