Thank you so for lifting my spirits on a deary Friday afternoon. And thank you, Chris, for sharing with me. I also just listened to Jellyfish and of course had to listen to Providence.

IT would already be stunning if she were delivering poetry by someone else. But this is a bit like listening to a young Anais Nin or Brahms delivering music warm from the heat of the oven. Sarah's poems surge and throb with music for music. These are songs waiting to be shaken loose of their wax moulds.

Her words & wisdom beyond years thrummed up-spine in a way that made me particularly receptive & alert. She combines the best of spoken word with other, older elements. The reaction is alchemical, transcendent. What a fine way to spend 45 minutes of my day, in the presence of the warm & wise Sarah Kay.

Listening to her words while on the bus was dangerous. Even here, people aren't used to seeing a grown man with tears in his eyes, for no apparent reason.

After listening to Sarah I wish it to be mandated that all grade school children be provided a poem a day in their lunch box - a truly balanced meal! Thank you, Sarah for your generosity in this hour and for giving us a part of your life that you will never get back again. btw, Sarah was right on on the first line of Solitude - I happen to have the book right next to my computer. Here is one of my favorite spoken word poets (before I was introduced to Sarah).
