- Alix_Olson abstract "Alix L. Olson (born 1975 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) is an American poet who works exclusively in spoken word. Alix Olson’s parents were both politically-minded professors, ideals she believed were passed along to her, as she recalls some of her earliest memories involving sitting under a table coloring protest signs. She graduated from Wesleyan University in 1997 and uses her work to address issues of capitalism, sexism, homophobia, heterosexism, misogyny, and patriarchy. She identifies as a queer feminist.In 1997, Olson began performing at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, where she quickly made the 1998 Nuyorican Poetry Slam team. She and her fellow Nuyorican team members Lynne Procope, Steve Colman and Guy LeCharles Gonzalez would go on to win the 1998 National Poetry Slam Championship in Austin, TX. This championship would lead to Soft Skull Press publishing the anthology Burning Down the House which showcased poetry by Olson, Procope, Coleman and Gonzalez as well as poetry by the 1998 Nuyorican Team's coach, Roger Bonair-Agard. In 1999 Alix Olson beat Stacey Ann Chin in a slam off givingher the title of the OUTWRITE slam champion.In 2001, “at the age of 25, Alix Olson landed herself on the cover of Ms. Magazine.” Olson went on to record and publish three spoken word CDs Built Like That (2001), Independence Meal (2004) and Protagonist (2014). Olson was the subject of the documentary Left Lane: On the Road with Folk Poet Alix Olson, which was released in 2005 and directed by Samantha Farinella. \"Making cameos on the DVD are Holly Near and Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls and Patricia Ireland, the former director of the National Organization for Women.\" On June 11th, 2006, Alix Olson co-hosted the Sixth Annual Outmusic Awards with Ari Gold, at the Knitting Factory in Rochester, New York. She is also the editor of the spoken word anthology, Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution with a foreward by Eve Ensler. This collection of essays and poetry was published by Seal Press in 2007 and features work from artists such as Patricia Smith, Eileen Myles, Sarah Jones, Suheir Hammad, Staceyann Chin, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, Lynn Breedlove and Michelle Tea.Alix has toured 200 days a year but is currently on the road less as she pursues a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She won the University of Massachusetts Amherst's 2013 \"Distinguished Teaching Award.\" On July 8, 2014, blogger Justyn Hintze wrote about the Apple Inc engraving service, which seemed to be exhibiting sexist programming. According to Hintze this came to her attention on attempting to engrave her new shiny iDevice with an Alix Olson lyric \"I’ll give myself a lube job, shake my broomstick 'til my clit throbs,\" a lyric which she describes as \"feminist, sex-positive, and it makes me smile. Every. single. time.\" The blog and subsequent campaign on Twitter - #MyClitMyChoice - has garnered international media attention.\"Alix Olson and her partner, Amy Neevel, co-founded Feed the Fire Productions, which is sending spoken word artists to under-served communities.\"".
