Poetry. African American Studies. With CD. 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.
