"My parents named me Sarah, which is a biblical name. In the original story, God told Sarah she could do something impossible and she laughed. Because the first Sarah?She didn't know what to do with Impossible And me? Well, neither do I.[...]So if you tell me I can do the impossible, I will probably laugh at you. I don't know if I can change the world. Yet."This is a fantastic poetry collection by Sarah Kay. These poems are inspiring, honest, and super relatable. I want to be your friend, Sarah! I feel like we'd have a lot to talk about! I discovered this poet from a Ted talk and was just blown away. I bought her book, and reading the first couple of poems I struggled to get that excitement again. So I went back and watched her, listened to her voice and tried to listen to her beat. After that each poem became a masterpiece to me. Recommend watching her perform before you read her poems because she has a special and specific way of delivering her words that the written page just can't deliver.
