Source on Linda Hogan (writer) 9 quotes
“in our human development we begin with ourselves and move outward toward relationship, and in writing work, it seems to be the same, that most writers begin with their own identity, with autobiography, and then move out toward family, friends, environment, country, world. I have noticed there's a return for many writers as they age…for others the world expands outward more and more, never returning to self...We need for writers to do both. We need the personal in its global context.”
Ana Castillo on Linda Hogan (writer)
“Her verses teach us how to live with dignity in a world bent on destruction.”
Louise Erdrich on Linda Hogan (writer)

Cherríe Moraga interview on Linda Hogan (writer)

Their writings run closer to the Chicano experience, given the fact that we both have native roots here in the United States.”
Brenda Peterson on Linda Hogan (writer)

Luci Tapahonso on Linda Hogan (writer)
“Drenched in grief and loss though it is, Mean Spirit is a haunting and beautiful story. Hogan's compassion for her characters is what makes the book captivating, bearable. She brings us a long overdue story, one that celebrates the resilience and survival of our own Indian population.”
