A Little Daylight Left: Poems by Sarah Kay

5.0

---

This is the feeling I will chase each time I pick up a new  collection. It was full of cheeky, sad, happy, and relatable poems that were so vivid in my mind. The second section is where I really fell in love with Sarah’s writing and knew she would be a new favorite. I really enjoyed and related to many of the themes present in this collection (love, loss, friendship, creativity, grief), and loved her descriptive word choice combined with the purposeful layout/rhythm. I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about this one. 

Some favorite quotes: 

“& if your old friend ever picked up the phone again
you would say wherever
you've been
was where you
needed to be
& whoever you
are now
welcome
back, beloved.”

“I could learn to be patient if 
I knew
there would always be a you to love”

My favorite poems were: 
- RACCOON

- BEGINNING IS A SEASON 
- ON THE DAYING APP I SELECT FROM THE DROPDOWN MENU TO INDICATE I TOO LIKE BEACHES
