TEDxEast - Sarah Kay-Poetess/Storyteller

[kahrawLEEnah]

Her kids are gonna hear awesome bedtime stories.

[donnyhubbard]

What could I say? So full of life so full of hope. This has made my day.

[aloneisinsane]

and now im in love

[Alwick100]

Wow! One of the best poets I've heard.

[mygirlkacy]

Pleasantly fresh!!

[futureindirector21]

You can know for sure you'll be in heaven! Praise Jesus Christ!

[tobyz1]

@futureindirector21 Praise Jesus Christ? Sarah's mother was Taoist and her father Jewish. [It turns out that YouTube is intolerant of URL links in Comments. So find Sarah's web site for info on her mother and Wikipedia for info on her father.]

[jaideepsingh5]

Interesting though different. Will be happy to hear her again

[ChaseShining]

I love her!! I like to rewatch this. : ) 

[TheBoomstickhero]

Everyone's going to hate me for this, but I think her commentary on life is just completely dry and her poems are boring and formulaic

[coopasan9]

@TheBoomstickhero Can't make everyone happy ya know?

[NotInMyName2012]

I'm in love....what a beautiful woman.....maybe our paths will cross in another lifetime...one can hope.

[oqendro]

did her mother die on 9/11?

[JayDhillschan]

Ahhh she is cute, and her poetry is inspiring. However, I don't think TED is the appropriate venue for these sort of expressions

[Wattsit2you]

@JayDhillschan TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) This is definitely entertainment so is perfectly suited for TED.

Musicians go on TED as well.

[coastsj]

Thank you at this very moments, words I needed to hear!!!

[AntimGrahan]

when she tells her poem she is literally throwing pictures from her photo album at you...

such a talent...

[iiiaxel]

OMGGG her poem is stunning! Bring tears into my eyes

[eeskaatt]

I'd love to hear my bedtime stories from her. Very energetic and really into it. Reminds me of my mom. :)

[Devinfrbs]

I need to stop falling in love on youtube

[olger05]

[VertigaDesignMEDIA]

[Genotypewriter]

11 people don't do drugs

[JazzQuasar]

Oh! Very nice! I thought I was crazy for thinking like her...

[BillySoFly]

Simply amazing stuff. I love her unique style and the way she presents her ideas. What is the name of the song at the start of her talk she sings? Or is it one of her original poems?

[karthickrobo]

i love it god with you

[LomTang]

I'd bang her. And I'm gay!

[hrebeshms]

sucks!!



[mebent]

Wow. She's got talent!!

[timjones2020]

it is nice to hear someone speak about discovering the soul and the benifits that come from following it. princess ballerina astronaut is what should all aspire to, quick before its too late

[CharadeStudios]

I fell in love with this Ted Talk, she is so captivating, I absolutely love her message

[galacticteach]

[irvanm87]

it was crushing for me too when i came to that same realization about life

[Quasarcool]

Well this is all well and good, but what is a poetess?

[KarthikSoun]

Basically Grandpa was a hero, mom and pop i love you, i had a brother, the towers feel.. Just learned to relax..God so many words for that! lol..

[harisizram]

this was inspiring...i was moved to my core by the part abt the towers and her father..shed a tear

[ColdfireNL]

my god, from now on, my life's sole purpose to get her to marry me lol. This is amazing

[Gnudel]

So beautiful it was.

[itscontagiousx3]

sarah, i thought i would get to do everything too. but i learned that as long as you can find one thing you love and get it to get one person to learn something or think differently, even for a brief moment, it becomes your everything,

[SpecialJackSC]

I'm kind of in love with Sarah Kay's mind.

And I keep expecting the dog to move...

[sentientstill]

If I ever have children... they've already met you.

[sentientstill]

you are magnificent white spectral wind . beware any daughter of yours . she'll move the moons before noons . stirring intrinsic spin with a grin

though at her whim all of this fin . to the light and the dark you made sure she'd been . and love always all there is to begin

[goldenpoet820]

Sarah Kay's poetry honest-to-god changed the way I view life.

[helloocandace]

wow. i love her



[DoodleTaffy]

Wow, this is amazing! Is that first part by her? It sounds so legendary that it came somewhere else way before her.

[PoohPooh071]

shes amazing 

[pashun88]

Wow, that was incredible.

[djdramat]

Absolutely loved the main bit. Sarah Kay is an amazing poetry teller. She breathes life and meaning into her pieces and I can't help but be captivated by her and her words.

[Gytu]

Whenever Sarah speaks, I see a women brimming with confidence and intelligence.

[sentientstill]

@Gytu Men too, she's that powerful.

[bloughchi]

@Gytu whenever Sarah speaks, I drop everything and listen. Her voice is enchanting.

[kirbster224]

She is a great poet and a decent singer. Does anyone know the song she sings in the beginning?

[RedlipsandPearls]

I know I'm not the only one who totally loves her outfit

[MaryanneRafka]

[OlgerJan]

@RedlipsandPearls I know im not the only 1 who likes the rest of her

[lifeguard92646]

@RedlipsandPearls I know I'm not the only one who totally loves Sarah Kay

[zzzzaah]

She is such an inspiration.

[boholrepublic]

Pure magic!!!

[VibrationsDrawn]

ProjectVoice's work helped me out of a several years long funk.

Now, I am a cynic by nature (at least, so I have become). The influence of humanism (as defined by psychology) upon Sarah Kay's works makes them far from my preferred style. So, when I say that her passion made me realize just how much I can accomplish with using my verbal talents instead of compulsively poring over concepts and twisting myself into knots. well, it shows how strongly I feel you need to listen to her and Phil.

[mitchwulfman]

@VibrationsDrawn phil who?
