● 內文簡介

★年輕的詩人作家Sarah Kay在TED演說:〈如果我有個女兒…〉(If I should have a daughter ...)
https://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_kay_if_i_should_have_a_daughter

「很多事情是我難以理解的,所以我藉由寫詩去釐清,有時唯一讓我瞭解一件事情的方法,就是寫詩。」Sarah Kay說道。

十四歲開始寫詩的Sarah,在TED演說中,講述自己蛻變的過程──從一個沉浸在鮑威利詩會裡的小女孩,到成為一位用V.O.I.C.E.計畫令孩子具備自我表達能力的老師。她一手創辦VOICE組織,將有聲詩(spoken word poetry)視為培育讀寫能力與活化力的工具,以表演藝術方式呈現。

她去年出版的詩集《B》問市後,廣受好評,更將她推向暢銷作家之林。《B》就是一封異想天開的情書、一個共同的承諾、一個感謝的信箋、一個對母親與女兒的耳語秘密,讚頌存在於父母與孩子之間的聯繫,文句簡潔,觸動人心,再搭配充滿韻味的黑白插圖,構成一本圖文並茂的現代詩集。


繼去年出版《B》後,她的第二本詩集《The Type》也在今年三月出版。
