I love that she is back ......had been waiting for her to make an appearance.....Sarah don't go and disappear just like that, if the sun were to do that, the little green grass won't get to photosynthesis remember

[@DY2784]

Listened and watched this 4 times consecutively... Standing firm on the very same spot, but moving, racing miles, while taking us all along, with Her words, Her facial expressions and waving signaling arms and hands... WHAT A NATURAL AND WONDERFUL POET!!! I'm mesmerized...❤❤❤

[@mattberg6328]

From one writer and poet to another, thank you Sarah for such profound, organic, and remarkably clean (yet masterful) word play. I wish there were more poets such as yourself. Grateful to hear your poetic voice again. :)

[@borahaeze]

Sarah Kay.... you will always be my favourite spoken word poet. You are brilliant.

[@tajeldeen]

Take a look at what is happening in Palestine.

As a english learner, she just poured bunch of new vocabulary at me to learn!

[@havendaye]

Thank you, Sarah. I've missed your poetry and I needed this tonight.

With all of her other poetry that I know by heart at this point, I keep wishing I could experience them for the first time again and again.
