Michelle Muir's debut poetry collection brings a new and
confident voice in the hip hop genre to the printed page. Muir's
poetry skillfully blends the language of the contemporary urban
environment with her personal take on African-Canadian rhythmic
and poly rhythmic style. The playful cadence of her voice leaps
from the pages of Nuff Said compelling the reader forward
on a wild ride through music, life, education, community pride,
love, erotic desire, political irony and probing questions of
race, class and gender.
The book comes packaged with a spoken-word CD.
"Poetry of this genre requires a voice
that is powerful and full of conviction . . . that is what the
urban voice is. Michelle captures that voice every time with her
blend of prose, music and poetry; you get the rhythm, the sound
and the message."
—Craig Mannix, Offshoot Communications
"Michelle's poetry works . . . whether you read it or hear
it . . . there is beat and timing and there is message . . .
that is the stuff great songs are made of."
—Jelleestone, Canadian Hip Hop Recording Artist
