Reviews and Quotes"Addison has enough invention for two writers, and enough heart for three."-- Terry Bisson, Nebula Award winning author
"Linda Addison's 'Twice, At Once, Separated' [Dark Matter] has, almost uniquely among the new stories, a recognizable sci-fi setting (a generation ship sailing between the stars); but its characters live as traditional Yanomami tribespeople, and the story -- a dream-impelled journey of self-discovery -- possesses the feel of fantasy."
"With the eloquent simplicity of the writers of ancient earth tales, and the pop cleverness of modern-day fantasists, Linda Addison shares with the reader a collection [Animated Objects] from her very human, very mystical realm; images often tender, poignant, brutal, transcendent."
"Animated Objects is a lively collection that ranges from the wry and amusing to raw, primal emotion. Its works sometimes tickle and at other times cut, taking the reader from joy to despair, reality to fantasy, and in the end affirming that the journey is, indeed, worthwhile."
"Animated Objects is not only a tour de force but also a tour through the material and raw core of the poet herself, who invites the reader in to bear witness to a life that is comprised of both sensitive retrospect and worldly affirmation."
"...Both amusing and painful, rooted in darkness and the alien, Animated Objects reaffirms that life is worth living, love worth risking, and that you can grow wings to carry you higher. It's inspirational."
