I think what I like the most about her is she doesn't try to make fancy word play. She tells stories with her poetry but she does it with SUCH a unique voice. it's like she's singing.

[@hayleym2303]

I love how she can take simple experiences from her life, and transform them into amusing poems, that don't sound like poems at all. They sound like stories your friend would tell you, or ones you would hear from grandparent. I. Love. Sarah. Kay. :)

The little girl watched her like she had once watched someone when she was little. My favourite element in Sarah's poetry is how she portrays the tiny things in history repeating themselves. The parts of the machine change because they've grown rusty, to be replaced by shiny new ones, and thus, the cycle continues and history repeats itself.

Wonderlust to growing up in life but the giggling of the old lady should never miss us in life!! Wonderful!!

"That summer, I learned how to be alone." I remember that summer. That's the best way that thought and that feeling can possibly be said. Thank you.

[@NancyEkpezu]

Sarah Kay is just incredible! It was such a pleasure meeting her in person and having a chance to have her talk to me! Very inspiring poetry.

[@megeedoo22]

She is such a storyteller. I love it!

[@omaximov77]

I'm pretty sure I will never get enough of her and her poetry! So much love for her!

[@luluparry200]

Im proud to hear someone love a small town out here like that

[@ickistssbm]

I am in love with this. All of her stuff is amazing.

[@jiancarlo8162]

She brought me to Montauk.

[@mohammedabdulmukim9597]

Beautiful! Her recitation has different qualities, which naturally comes from her heart. Excellent!

[@LeahBartlettIsAwesome]

Sarah Kay's words give me so much hope. I can't explain the feelings I get when I watch her performances. I'm in tears this time. Sarah's poetry saves me.

[@speakeasynyc]

@TheAspergerGuy There are now Poetry Clubs in most major cities that feature open mic nights as well as featured poet nights.

[@Shivierie]

I could just listen to her speak every day and never get enough. Sarah Kay is just incredible :)

[@iisazel]

I'm so lucky I got to watch her perform last night!!!

[@alias16c]

she's brilliant...her artistic excellence and storytelling all summed up by that beautiful voice? i could listen 2 her all day and never zone out

[@antoniogonzalez-uv9bf]

her honesty is the best part.

[@xXMusicSpeaksXx]

i can litterally listen to Sarah Kay all day. I speak from experience.

[@mrjacobwilson24]

1:35 "Time goes to Montauk to take a break" and 2:04 "Time stalls in Montauk" both dovetail perfectly with other things I've heard about this strange place: Montauk. I think the imagery does well to convey the subjective impressions a child has of a place and how it changes over time. In this way, I have also been to Montauk, my own triple Moscow.

[@redschool]

She is my favorite.

[@stickerlover164902]

YAY! I get to hear more Sara Kay!!!

[@Desert2GardenLV]

The only reason I am subscribed... Thank you.

[@PolesitterPictures]

YES! SARAH KAY! She's awesome!

[@agrammarsnob]

Nothing beats listening to this while you're in Montauk. :)

[@BarerMender]

I don't generally like slam, but I like this.

[@sticksandstones1991]

[@blueberricake]

[@lachionoise]

Sarah Kay is perfect!

[@flutterflowexpert]

[@mummafier]

I am in love.

[@Justcallmecrazy747]

My Montauk burned down today.... And I am crying my eyes out at this

[@NinaC]

I cried

[@Key0fZ]

@TheAspergerGuy Depends. This is a place, from what I understand, which hosts poetry slams. On the occasions during which there is a slam, there will also be an audience. As for the always part, that's just something we hope will happen.

[@fatangel420]

AWSOME!

[@felixfaster]

Her poetry is like a cross between Norman Rockwell and Longfellow.

[@BrittnySyndrome]

She definitely deserved a bigger applause than that.

[@douaa7584]

Charimiiiiing

[@babydoll11108]

love spoken word!

[@neversoft173]

I love your channel

[@fatangel420]

@Seetheunconventional that fact that you've said that is a step in the right direction!! i hope you do too!

[@bluberytoze]

[@SAPCmafi]

[@rosie11954]

Montauk...that's where I live!

[@JajaParadise]

[@neversoft173]

It's funny. Her poetry partner is named Phil Kaye, his sister is called Sarah. Sarah Kay's little brother is called Phil Kay...

[@Hogie506]

"PK's Porn" I love Sarah Kay's mum.

[@lizard1533]

i can respect anyone who can put porn in a poem

[@Surfermain]

PK's PORN! HELLS YES!

[@thecindylorraine]

very nice! Although... hard to imagine that you were ever 'chubby'...

[@JajaParadise]

[@amberesq]

this is nice, but I think it's not one of her better performances.
