She started speaking and I thought she was just talking, when in fact it was the beginning of her beautiful poem. So natural and effortless, I love Sarah!
Sarah Kay is so perfect. She's like, to me, the older woman in the bikini who seemed to have all the answers that I admire and wish to become someday. Keep the good stuff coming!
I love this poem. I grew up around Montauk in Long Island and I always love it when people from the city visit. Yeah, it's annoying when they don't know basic stuff (like the cat, really) but it's cute and heartwarming to think the place where I've lived my whole life and still love today is some vacation or get away for someone else. I guess I take it for granted l
it's very clear pal, which is, in some places (peaceful ones), you do things just for fun, for relaxation but in other places (like cities or the places people rush to just to make ends meet) people desperately do that same thing but for making a living. In general, Sarah wants to express that Montauk is a very peaceful place, where she feels life 'slows down' everytime she comes there. You're welcome!
That was incredible!! It was like I forgot where I was because I was so hooked with her voice. Insanely brilliant speaker and writer. I feel like watching it again and again tbh
Sarah Kay is a wonder. I feel like this poem is underappreciated in comparison to some of her other works. I stumbled across it and watched several times over, sitting there, smiling. Absolutely amazing
Sarah Kay has spoiled me for other poets. I don't want to even test the waters of another poet. I know they may be good, great or dare I say better than Sarah but why tempt fate when I think I have perfection already. Oh yeah Thank you Sarah and who ever else brought her to me cos now she is mine.
Shivers, starting at the top of my head, traveling down my cheeks, neck and into my chest where they dance around filling my body with warmth. I have watched this so many times now.
Her poems make me feel so nostalgic and bring about such beautiful memories i never even experienced. Yet also help me remember beautiful memories I’ve long forgotten. So in awe
Never before have I heard, seen, and above all understood poetry like this before. this makes me happy. All of this. I feel the love in this one. And it is good.
I've been watching Sarah Kay for years and she's amazing as usual. Her use of words is always fresh and creative. A piece I could watch again and again.
I have listened to this atleast ten times and every time I come back it makes me think or feel something different. Sarah is so amazing, I wish my poetry could do the same things that hers does.
I wanna write poetry like Sarah. I want to bring people into new world when words tumble out of my mouth. I want to be able to make someone feel as though they're sad Or maybe happy I wish I could write poems like Sarah. 😊
If any of my advisers, teaches, leaders etc had taught me there was such a thing as this and it is called poetry I would have not wasted so many years thinking it sucked. This/she is wonderful.
I only discovered her recently because of my girlfriend who told me she started slam poetry all because of her and I can definitely see why. Sarah Kay does this thing where she lends you moments of her life and for those few moments you get to see life through her eyes and its the most beautiful ever.
I just wrote a poem for our spoken poetry contest this Monday, but I don't know how to deliver it. TH-cam brought me to her. She's the standard. So natural. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to deliver my poem well. 😭
Whenever she speaks I enter an entire new world. Only 5 minutes and I felt as if I was reading a novel.
Her poems give me a feeling of nostalgia for moments I've never even experienced. Her words are so wonderful.
she's good at telling them!
Sarah's speaking voice is spoken poetry itself.
yes wow
She started speaking and I thought she was just talking, when in fact it was the beginning of her beautiful poem. So natural and effortless, I love Sarah!
Her poems are so soft and gentle. I want to write poetry like that.
She and Phil Kaye have the most beautiful speech patterns. The words just flow so organically and their poems are such a joy to hear.
That was beautiful. Only 5 minutes and I've been taken on a journey.
Keep the Sarah Kay poems coming (and I will keep crying and stuff.)
I adore this poem, this poet, this performance.
"where the learning happens in between moments..."
Sarah Kay is so perfect. She's like, to me, the older woman in the bikini who seemed to have all the answers that I admire and wish to become someday.
Keep the good stuff coming!

I JUST finished watching "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!" Damn, how serendipitous!!
I love this poem. I grew up around Montauk in Long Island and I always love it when people from the city visit.

Veronica Bradford I grew up here too
I love this! It's nice to find a beautiful poem that isn't full of pain, cynicism, or rage, but that reminds us there is still some good in the world.
She is an amazing poet. She makes me cry of joy when listening to her
I love Sarah Kay so much, everything she writes is so meaningful and personal and it really draws a listener in.
Everyone has a Montauk where their moments were made and forever stuck in time.
She really is born to do this, her words flow flawlessly every poem. I don't understand.
She has a talent to decorate life
"In Montauk, I can take my time." Nostalgia kicking right in.
I always come back here whenever I feel tired. This poem of hers is an absolute favorite of mine.
I'm amazed at the beginning and how she slowly threads the familiar tone of poem into what seemed a lot more like a conversation and explanation o:
Sarah's voice is so soothing and calming. She could read me a dictionary as a lullaby and i'd be asleep before she hit aardvark.
No less then what's expected from Sarah! Personal, magical, touching and very playful- this woman's got her words figured out ;) Made me chuckle!
I'm so in love with her poetry. 5 minutes of it and I'm smiling like there's nothing wrong in the world :)
Sarah speaks so beautifully this poem becomes far more than a poem just because of the way she speaks. It's beautiful.
I love chronologic poems like this one. Great job Sarah!
her narrative is healing, love it
The punch of her poems is so gentle, it's breathtaking
"there are some places where fishnets do not mean stockings" :)
Meaning what???
it's very clear pal, which is, in some places (peaceful ones), you do things just for fun, for relaxation but in other places (like cities or the places people rush to just to make ends meet) people desperately do that same thing but for making a living.

i love when sarah speaks bc she shows that you can slam without screaming

Oh yeah Thank you Sarah and who ever else brought her to me cos now she is mine.
her voice alone is like poetry to me. i adore the way she speaks. soft and comforting. beautiful
peaceful and joyful poetry can be so revolutionary in its own way

This is definitely my favorite poem from her
I could listen to her voice for the rest of my life
I've been watching Sarah Kay for years and she's amazing as usual. Her use of words is always fresh and creative. A piece I could watch again and again.
When ever I hear her poems everything just drifts away and I feel like I’m floating in a void of joy
I can't have enough of Sarah Kay! wow
She is a storyteller. The life she breathes into her words is indescribable.
That sad feeling when this talented person will be here in Manila in a few days time AND I WONT BE THERE 😞😞
Looks like we're on the same boat :----(
2 years later, I'll be seeing her perform again tonight xx it takes some time, past me :)
Wow sht i missed 2 chances wth WHY DID I ONLY DISCOVER HER NOW?!?!?!?!?
I know right 😭
If I read them they wouldn’t be as potent. Thank you for a mesmerizing 5 minutes.
You have a gift girl!
I have listened to this atleast ten times and every time I come back it makes me think or feel something different. Sarah is so amazing, I wish my poetry could do the same things that hers does.

She never ceases to amaze and entertain me.
I loooooooove love love love every piece I've ever seen that she's done. This took my breath away.

Sarah Kay's words are magical, I hang on every syllable.

I love Sarah Kay's poems.
Her voice is so calming to listen to
Her poems always make me feel so hopeful
Lovely words strung together and delivered by a beautiful women with so much grace.
“That summer I learned how to be alone” This line 🥲💔
Long Island feels so magical like this, from being there only a few times.
I was smiling the whole way through. Absolutely stunning.
This made me unbearably happy. What a lovely poem, one of my favorites.
I just wrote a poem for our spoken poetry contest this Monday, but I don't know how to deliver it. TH-cam brought me to her. She's the standard. So natural. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to deliver my poem well. 😭

Thankyou for making me fall in love with poetry 💕
Sarah Kay makes me wish I was a better poet.

She always outdoes herself ❤
I love everything Sarah does
Sarah's poetry is so lovely

A movie in my head. Wow!
SARAH KAY NEVER FAILS ME
I love her stuff,
'No Matter the Wreckage' is a great collection of work.
I had the biggest smile on my face at the end :D
OK. After listening to her, I feel like I should just stop trying to be in the same field as her. She is so good!
She reminds me of Maya Angelou.... she has such similar approach to her. I was a big fan (still am) of Angelou and becoming a new huge fan of Sarah.
Same here.
She reminds me so much of a grown up Riley from Girl meets world.
I appreciate the overall mood of this poem
Wow the way she paints such a vivid picture
You are so good! Love listening to your 'stories'
Ohmygod I love Sarah Kay
this piece i love the most
Another highly underrated Sarah Kay poem.
I love her so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love her!

Her voice is gorgeous, she should narrate an audiobook :')
