Sarah Kay, a spoken word poet and the founder of the Project V.O.I.C.E. organization, recited a piece called “The Type” at Inner City Arts. The Button Poetry YouTube channel posted a video (embedded above) featuring Kay’s performance and it has drawn more than 51,000 views.
Kay (pictured, via) drew inspiration for this piece from a line found in Richard Siken’s poem, “Detail of the Woods.” Click here to watch a video of Kay performing at the TED 2011 Conference.
