Words, Writing & Poetry
“Warrior Beings’ is Michelle’s first solo collection of poetry. It’s a beautifully produced volume, laid out with style by Slim Smith. It’s set out in five chapters (‘Self’, ‘Heart’, ‘Ikigai’, ‘Cut and Paste’ and ‘Light’), each illustrated with her striking visual art.” - Nerve Magazine UK
