Absolutely beautiful. I was a fan of Sarah Kay’s spoken word poetry years ago, so I was delighted to be sent a widget for this book and it was stunning. Her writing is still so fresh and digestible, but it’s so cleverly put together. A few of the poems in this collection will stick with me for a long time. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for an accessible poetry collection full of heart.

I think at this point I can soundly say that Sarah Kay is my favorite poet. I already loved her spoken word performances, so reading this collection it was easy to hear every poem in her voice. She paints such vivid pictures with her words, and I love the thematic details she threads from one piece to the next. Then of course there are lines that just blindside me, like: "I'm not an optimist, but I play one in the group chat." Like, DAMN. Way to call us out here, Sarah. (One of the poems goes into detail about using the royal "we" and I will be thinking about that poem for a looooong time.)

“Wherever you’ve been was
where you needed to be
& whoever you are now
welcome back, beloved”
