what can I say that hasn't already been said about Sarah Kay - this woman has maybe been the one person I don't actually know who has most influenced my worldview and the person I want most to become; even the bits that are repetitive (streetlights turning on, running to the lighthouse, a bird made of birds) are endearing to me like this author I respect so much has cute little obsessions too, and it is okay to be cynical but also how can you not simply marvel at a world that is so full of wonders great and small

I can't remember the last time I picked up and read an entire book of poetry, especially in one day. I checked this one out on a whim after seeing it recommended and I'm so glad I did. I laughed and I teared up multiple times. There are some truly incredible, very human poems in this book and it turns out that's what I needed right now. Maybe it's what you need too.

I love poets who can express beautiful, devastating truths about life and the universe in plain language. As soon as I finished this collection, I started to reread it.

Everything Sarah Kay creates is worth reading over & over again. A Little Daylight Left is a collection of poems that could each individually stand as their own, yet they cohesively tell a story as they are shared chronologically & thematically with intention & purpose. The collection’s voice is so authentically hers that I read it silently in her performance voice. While it’s her own, it certainly conveys messages that capture the human experience—universals of love, wonder, self-reflection and grief. 

I will keep these poems in my back pocket forever.
