alix olson: four questions for you
by: Miriam Hall
The answers to these questions are in PGI #7.
1. You are printing your work in our journal in the written form, but
you have (at least in the last five years) been primarily a spoken
word artist. Do poems come to you in spoken form or in written form?
2. "Dorothea Tanning" seems to take some of the focus off the
overtly political and shift the focus back onto how the "personal is
the political." How did this piece come together for you?
3. How/why do you feel that poetry and spoken word are such good
formats for expressing dissention from oppression and advocacy
for personal and human rights?
4. PGI is a grassroots group of writers and artists, much like
Subtle Sister and Feed the Fire-groups of our generation who
come together to make art and support each other’s work. How did
you work to build up both groups, and what struggles have you
encountered while doing so?
