I'll take time to watch Sarah Kay later, but the others are awesome. I did some spoken word with my students every few years & they loved the doing. It is a wonderful way for more poetry in the classroom. Thanks for all of this, Michelle!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-84597340743285593802020-10-03T12:14:04.568-04:002020-10-03T12:14:04.568-04:00I was just introduced to Sarah Kay recently... wha...I was just introduced to Sarah Kay recently... what a whirlwind!

I'll be back to this post a few times to explore your offerings. I must confess, I'm pretty ignorant.

He has an amazing way of presenting a poem, as do all the young poets you share in your post. I am glad that you shared AGT's amazing winner. I did not see that act when I turned on the show.

I wonder if there will be a proliferation of spoken word because of his win?

I've always been leery of spoken word because I cannot imagine participating myself...which is weird because as a teen I loved drama and won an oratorical contest. This is fun to read and watch. Simon Cowell's face cracks me up. I'm so glad NBC tuned in just as poetry was ready to meeting you. That in itself is a story and poem? I love it.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-36959356491937660252020-10-02T01:14:03.583-04:002020-10-02T01:14:03.583-04:00Wow Michelle, Sarah Kay's fantastic-what a mov...Wow Michelle, Sarah Kay's fantastic-what a moving individual, poet, and talk! Your entire post beams with inspiration, and many ideas to think about.
