Description
Sarah Kay’s powerful spoken word poetry performances have gone viral, with more than 10 million online views and thousands more in global live audiences. In her second single-poem volume, Kay takes readers along a lyrical road toward empowerment, exploring the promise and complicated reality of being a woman.
During her spoken word poetry performances, audiences around the world have responded strongly to Sarah Kay’s poem The Type. As Kay wrote in The Huffington Post: “Much media attention has been paid to what it means to ‘be a woman,’ but often the conversation focuses on what it means to be a woman in relation to others. I believe these relationships are important. I also think it is possible to define ourselves solely as individuals… We have the power to define ourselves: by telling our own stories, in our own words, with our own voices.”
Never-before-published in book form, The Type is illustrated throughout and perfect for gift-giving.
