Beloved spoken word poet Sarah Kay brings us her long-awaited second full-length poetry collection, a decade after her acclaimed debut No Matter the Wreckage. In A Little Daylight Left, Kay explores life's most vulnerable moments of transition with courage, curiosity, joy, and humor. Each poem invites readers to consider what it might look like to boldly face the hard things we so often run from—a heartbreak, an ailing loved one, the fear that comes with new beginnings and uncertain futures. The result is a blueprint for discovering beauty in all that makes us human. With her signature wit and wisdom, Kay shows us how to navigate life bravely, with every single part of ourselves.
Sarah Kay is a poet from New York City who has been performing her spoken word poetry since she was fourteen years old. Her first talk delivered at the TED conference has been seen over fifteen million times online. She is the author of four books of poetry: B, No Matter the Wreckage, The Type, and All Our Wild Wonder. Sarah is the founder and co-director of Project VOICE, an organization that uses spoken word poetry to promote empowerment through self-expression, challenge traditional notions of literacy, and expand access to arts education. She also acts as an advisor and consultant for several poetry organizations and communities abroad. Sarah holds a master's degree in the art of teaching from Brown University and an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Grinnell College.
