In reviewing Mihaela’s poetry book, journalist Dorin Grigore wrote :

“Reading this book, it’s impossible not to ask God: Oh, Lord, who could ever rise to the love this girl offers? This divine chemistry through which rage turns into love is amazing and overwhelming”. “Mihaela Modorcea creates a visionary landscape of ideas, full of passion, carnal force, and great power." “Mihaela Modorcea reinvents language itself, in that she looks for the “other” way of naming things, as Plato said in his Cratylus dialogue.”

“In Mihaela Modorcea’s verses there lies a theatricality of Shakespearean origin, an air of northern poetry, a steam from Ibsen and Strindberg; her verses are a leaven of Puck's fantasy...”

Grid Modorcea authored and published a book entitled "Indiggo Twins" which tells their life story from his perspective as a writer, film maker and critic.
