Fans speak about "Planet Irresistible."

"Michelle is not only a great poet but a great performer. She is the only poet in this competition who made me laugh and cry and hope all in the space of 4 minutes. She can break her stride, throw a curve-ball to the audience and make us laugh all without losing her rhythm. Listening to her sounds like a brilliant jazz piece. She is bright, full of life and infectious."

~R.S. - Whitby, ON

"The moment I heard Michelle reading her poetry on CBC Radio, I just stopped dead in my tracks. I could not remember when poetry had reached me like this, so quickly and so profoundly. The feeling is one of pure delight and endless imagination. Thank you Michelle.”

On my planet, you could reverse some coulda woulda shouldas in your life. Mental vacations, mind renovations, cerebral excavations…can you dig it?
