"A powerhouse poet...sexy, funny, funky, and yet substantive"
The Tennessean

"Mattison's poetry is not for the faint of heart or those with sensibilities too delicate to confront tough issues straight on...[she] rage[s] against American antipathy toward people of color, women, homosexuals, and the poor...her poems are broadsides against a hostile culture of hate and greed."
The Nashville Scene

"Ami Mattison’s steamy feminist poetry penetrates the tough issues of race, class, and gender politics, while delighting audiences with humor and funk."

"Defiant, poignant and straightforward Mattison’s work hits you where you live and cuts to the very core with a razor sharp edge of rage at the policies of exclusion, apathy and greed that permeate out society."
