A Little Daylight Left had me floored from the very first poem.
Kay crafts such beautiful imagery for us with her words, snapshots of experience, connection, love, sex. There are life altering, heartbreaking moments. Thought spirals that seem circular, but we're going somewhere. I promise. She makes even the most mundane of moments shine with hidden light. From dreams, to cooking, to family road trips, there is magic in these acts.
While reading the poem Sharpshooters, I recall thinking that her parents' love for photography must have helped to shape her ability to paint such beautiful pictures with words. Then in the very next poem she says herself, "I learned to write the way my parents photograph—looking for light."
Sarah
I am reading to myself unaccompanied
in silence
I have no special accent
just your voice in my head as I read
Thank you for reminding me that I still need to take that road trip with my dad up the coast to hunt for beautiful, dilapidated barns to photograph.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I received a copy of A Little Daylight Left by Sarah Kay from NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review.
