Open your hands

By April 3, 2014 Books

I write poems to figure things out.

-Sarah Kay

This is the 15th year of National Poetry Month here in Canada.

Most of the poets I know don’t pay much attention when they are supposed to be fêted, toil as they do in the shadows for most of their hard scrabbled days.

This month-long toast to their craft and wizardry should also include spoken word brilliance.

Today’s salute goes to poet Sarah Kay.

Because I have two of my own, here is “If I should have a daughter…”

We were all children once

Pack a rock

Mad woman in the forest

Besmirched, lacklustre and dauntless
