"Wenn ich eine Tocher haben sollte, wird sie mich an Stelle von Mama Plan B nennen..." beginnt die Spoken Word Dichterin Sarah Kay, in einem Vortrag der bei TED2011 zwei Stehbeifälle inspirierte. Sie erzählt die Geschichte ihrer Metamorphose – von einem blauäugigen Teenager, der Gedichte in New Yorks's Bowery Poetry Club in sich aufsaugt zu einer Lehrerin, die durch das Projekt V.O.I.C.E. Kinder mit der Kraft des Selbstausdrucks verbindet – und die zwei atemberaubende Gedichte von "B" und "Hiroshima" vorträgt.

A performing poet since she was 14 years old, Sarah Kay is the founder of Project V.O.I.C.E., teaching poetry and self-expression at schools across the United States. Full bio »
