I missed National Poetry Day, or maybe I was a day early by posting the extraordinary work of Langston Hughes. I have many favorite poets, so it is impossible to pick just one, but I would say that Sarah Kay is probably my favorite of current poets. She is amazingly talented and spends a great deal of time teaching all over the world to help educate and inspire young people. Sarah Kay is a master of spoken word poetry, and this video is a tribute to her favorite principal.

Lana, I have seen another video of Sarah Kay a while ago and was totally struck by her poetry and deliverance of the poem – absolutely amazing. Great to hear her read another here and fantastic as ever. Thank you for sharing.
She is truly a gem, Annika. She also started out in poetry as a teenager. I feel so inadequate, ha ha.
Great choice! This is not the first poetry share I’ve seen from Sarah Kay. She must be getting more popular…paving the way for others.
She is an amazing talent for sure. I really like how she founded her organization to teach and make the arts accessible to children.
Yes, awesome!
Loved this! Her words equaled only by her delivery of them (a bit of actress in this gal). Shows the love of learning that a good teacher or principal can instill in a child, why it’s important to encourage their individual talents, so all the colors of the crayon box get to shine. Thanks for sharing this Lana: I will be searching Amazon and YouTube for more. 🙂
You are welcome, Joan. She has been one of my favorite for quite some time. She has several videos on YouTube, you will love them.
My first time seeing Sarah Kay at work, Lana. I love spoken word poetry in general and she’s amazing. Thanks for the intro.
You are welcome, Diana. She is one of my favorites. I would love to see her in person someday.
