Michell Madsen is a good example of a growing band of poets who have learnt their craft by performing live. If you only encountered her poetry on the page however, you would just think "poet" and find no need to get weighed down by a "performance" prefix or wonder whether this is that mysterious Spoken Word you have heard about. Maybe Michelle is a cross over artist who is at ease in both poetry worlds, she certainly understands better than most that "page and stage" operate inside the same tent. The poems collected here show a flair for structure and technique that only serves to strengthen work written first and foremost with the microphone in mind. From wild romance to dark satire Michelle's poetry contemplates love, lust, physics, politics, identity and gastronomic oddities.
