In addition to being a fantastic poet, Michelle was wonderful to work with face to face! She was kind, helpful, genuine, validating, and gave a wealth of concrete things for me to move forward with in just a short session. I highly recommend her services to any aspiring poets.

Michelle was amazing to work with! She gave great advice that she prepared beforehand so we could really utilize the time allotted for our session. She takes notes throughout the session and will email you a summary of everything you went over in case you forget afterwards.

I gave the poem to my boyfriend and he absolutely LOVED it. He actually teared up a little and let me tell you, this man is not a crier... It feels just so perfect for both of us. Thank you so much for making something so special that captures us so well.

11/10 would recommend Michelle’s workshop! Not only does she provide such interesting and unique poetry and resource material, she cultivates a rich and inviting atmosphere where creativity is supported, encouraged, and allowed to bloom. The structure and pace of the workshop was perfect; I only wish it would have been longer! If you’re looking for help finding your poetic voice (hint: you already have one) and hone your skills, look no further than the Constant Poet!

Michelle is a generous soul. I am so glad I booked a session to read my poem and get her feedback and encouragement. To Michelle: thank you for sharing your valuable time, your experienced mind, your listening ear, and your giving heart.

Michelle is such a present and inspiring spirit. She gently guides the process while truly respecting the writers intentions.
