    Her poems give me a feeling of nostalgia for moments I've never even experienced. Her words are so wonderful.

    Whenever she speaks I enter an entire new world. Only 5 minutes and I felt as if I was reading a novel.

    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's speaking voice is spoken poetry itself.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    • @vohanam96
      @vohanam96 3 года назад +3

      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!

    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.

    Sarah speaks so beautifully this poem becomes far more than a poem just because of the way she speaks. It's beautiful.

    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.
