What the critics say:
"Toots", you're hotter than cold slaw."
-- Emo Philips (L.A. comedian)
"This CD is a rare example of poetry and music coming together that really works.
The variety of musical settings that accompany the poems keeps the action moving, and nicely showcases
her wonderful poetry. NORMAL, one of her all time classic pieces is a treat to hear in Japanese."
-- Jim e Sparkle Pants (San Fransico Performance Poet)
"Love the CD because it gets all the way to my inner heart, the most secret and hidden places."
-- Emy Meir (Ann Arbor Attorney)
"You're a Love Goddess (it could happen.)"
-- Judy Tenuta (L.A. comedian)
"Toots, you're the most whacked poet I know, and that's why I love you."
