About Me

Missie is a storyteller at heart. She is able to reach inside any situation and bring out insight and meaning. Her words are lyrical and profound and yet accessible and entertaining. She has been known to perform in coffeeshops, on street corners and sometimes, naked. She is a member of the Victoria based poetry collective Tongues of Fire and a past editor of Sparks.
