About Me

'Lisa sings with a touching resonance centered round her gritty Americana voice.' Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music)
'Nimbly worded, charmingly executed, and completely bereft of Family Values. As always.' Jeff Hunt (Table of the Elements + Radium record labels)
Holly is included in '50 Rock Lyricists with Significant Output 1989-2004 Who More or Less Generally Fail to Suck Massive Ass' (Franklin Bruno)
Re: 'Up is Up But So Is Down' New York's Downtown Literary Scene 1974-1992
NYU Press Oct.2006 ...'But these writers aren't just letting it blurt. There's a formal elegance and inventiveness to many works, epitomized by Holly Anderson's marvelously concrete 'Color Stories'...Village Voice Oct.2006. ...'There are surprises,too-like Holly Anderson, who writes haiku-like prose poems of delicate lyricism trapped in crossword grids. Each letter is separated from the others as if imprisoned, evoking both the density and the loneliness of the city,and challenging the reader to make "sense" of the lapidary inscriptions.New York Times Book Review Nov.2006
