No
Matter the Wreckage by Sarah Kay
Fiction
Not
to sound cheesy, but Sarah Kay’s No Matter the Wreckage is truly poetry
for the modern era. Most people know her from her TED Talk or her YouTube
videos where she performs spoken word poetry and has given a new face to
poetry, which is normally alienating and a genre most readers my age avoid.
But, Sarah Kay’s poems are anything but alienating. I actually thought that a
lot of her poems dealt with themes that were very familiar, most notably “B.”
“B” may be my favorite poem because it was the first poem that I saw Kay
perform in her TED Talk, or it could be because it emphasizes resilience
despite hard times, which is a theme that all readers can relate to.
