Spoken Word Poetry

Some poetry is for reading, and some is for listening to.
This is Sarah Kay, a poet who specializes in a form called Spoken Word Poetry.
In this Ted Talk she reads one of my favorite poems If I should have a daughter, and explains why anyone can write poetry. She ends the talk with a final poem, as haunting as it is beautiful.





If you liked this poem and want to see more videos like this, leave a comment and let me know.
