"Kad bih ja imala imati kćer, umjesto mame, ona će me zvati točka B ..." počela je pjesnikinja izgovorene riječi Sarah Kay, govor koji je inspirirao dvije stojeće ovacije na TED2011. Ona priča priču o svojoj preobrazbi -- od tinejdžerice širom otvorenih očiju koja upija poeziju u New Yorku Bowery Klubu za Poeziju te sve do učitelja koji povezuje djecu sa snagom samo-izražavanja kroz projekt V.O.I.C.E. -- izvodi i dvije pjesme koje oduzimaju dah "B" i "Hirošima".

If I should have a daughter,
0
0
3000
Kad bih ja imala kćer,
00:18
instead of "Mom,"
1
3000
2000
umjesto Mame,
00:20
she's gonna call me "Point B,"
2
5000
3000
ona će me zvati Točka B,
00:23
because that way she knows that no matter what happens,
3
8000
3000
jer na taj način ona zna da bez obzira što se događa,
00:26
at least she can always find her way to me.
4
11000
3000
barem ona uvijek može pronaći put do mene.
00:29
And I'm going to paint solar systems on the backs of her hands
5
14000
3000
I naslikati ću solarni sustav na pozadini njezinih ruku,
00:32
so she has to learn the entire universe
6
17000
3000
tako da mora naučiti cijeli svemir
00:35
before she can say, "Oh, I know that like the back of my hand."
7
20000
3000
prije nego što može reći, "Oh, znam to poput pozadine svoje ruke."
00:38
And she's going to learn
8
23000
2000
I ona će naučiti
00:40
that this life will hit you hard in the face,
9
25000
3000
da će vas ovaj život udariti jako u lice,
00:43
wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach.
10
28000
3000
čekati da ustanete samo kako bi vas mogao udariti u želudac.
00:46
But getting the wind knocked out of you
11
31000
2000
Ali, prebijajući vas
00:48
is the only way to remind your lungs
12
33000
2000
je jedini način da podsjetite pluća
00:50
how much they like the taste of air.
13
35000
2000
koliko ona vole okus zraka.
00:52
There is hurt, here,
14
37000
2000
Tu je povreda
00:54
that cannot be fixed by Band-Aids or poetry.
15
39000
2000
koja se ne može popraviti flasterom ili poezijom.
00:56
So the first time she realizes
16
41000
2000
Tako kad prvi put shvati
00:58
that Wonder Woman isn't coming,
17
43000
2000
da Čudesna Žena ne dolazi,
01:00
I'll make sure she knows
18
45000
2000
pobrinut ću se da ona zna
01:02
she doesn't have to wear the cape all by herself
19
47000
2000
kako ne mora nositi taj plašt sama.
01:04
because no matter how wide you stretch your fingers,
20
49000
2000
Jer bez obzira koliko široko istegnete svoje prste,
01:06
your hands will always be too small
21
51000
2000
vaše ruke će uvijek će biti premale
01:08
to catch all the pain you want to heal.
22
53000
2000
da uhvate svu bol koju želite izliječiti.
01:10
Believe me, I've tried.
23
55000
2000
Vjerujte mi, ja sam pokušala.
01:12
"And, baby," I'll tell her,
24
57000
2000
"I, baby," reći ću joj,
01:14
don't keep your nose up in the air like that.
25
59000
2000
nemoj tako držati nos u zraku.
01:16
I know that trick; I've done it a million times.
26
61000
2000
Znam ja taj trik, ja sam to učinila milijun puta.
01:18
You're just smelling for smoke
27
63000
2000
Ti samo želiš namirisati dim
01:20
so you can follow the trail back to a burning house,
28
65000
3000
tako da možeš pratiti trag natrag do goruće kuće,
01:23
so you can find the boy who lost everything in the fire
29
68000
2000
kako bi pronašla dječaka koji je izgubio sve u vatri
01:25
to see if you can save him.
30
70000
2000
kako bi vidjela možeš li ga spasiti.
01:27
Or else find the boy who lit the fire in the first place,
31
72000
4000
Ili pronađi dječaka koji je zapalio vatru na prvom mjestu,
01:31
to see if you can change him."
32
76000
2000
da vidiš možeš li ga promijeniti."
01:33
But I know she will anyway,
33
78000
2000
Ali ja znam da će svejedno,
01:35
so instead I'll always keep an extra supply
34
80000
2000
pa ću umjesto toga uvijek držati dodatnu opskrbu
01:37
of chocolate and rain boots nearby,
35
82000
2000
čokolade i čizmi za kišu u blizini,
01:39
because there is no heartbreak that chocolate can't fix.
36
84000
3000
jer ne postoji slomljeno srce koje čokolada ne može popraviti.
01:43
Okay, there's a few heartbreaks that chocolate can't fix.
37
88000
2000
U redu, postoji nekoliko slomljenih srca koje čokolada ne može popraviti.
01:45
But that's what the rain boots are for,
38
90000
2000
Ali to je ono čemu služe čizme za kišu.
01:47
because rain will wash away everything, if you let it.
39
92000
4000
Jer kiša će isprati sve, ako joj to dopustiš.
01:51
I want her to look at the world
40
96000
2000
Želim da gleda na svijet
01:53
through the underside of a glass-bottom boat,
41
98000
2000
kroz donje staklo na podu broda,
01:55
to look through a microscope
42
100000
2000
da gleda kroz mikroskop
01:57
at the galaxies that exist
43
102000
2000
galaksije koje postoje
01:59
on the pinpoint of a human mind,
44
104000
2000
na vrhu ljudskog uma,
02:01
because that's the way my mom taught me.
45
106000
2000
jer to je način kojem me moja mama podučila.
02:03
That there'll be days like this.
46
108000
2000
Biti će dana poput ovih.
02:05
♫ There'll be days like this, my momma said. ♫
47
110000
3000
♫ Biti će dana kao što je ovaj, moja mama je rekla. ♫
02:08
When you open your hands to catch
48
113000
2000
Kada otvoriš svoje ruke da uhvatiš
02:10
and wind up with only blisters and bruises;
49
115000
2000
i završiš samo sa žuljevima i modricama;
02:12
when you step out of the phone booth and try to fly
50
117000
3000
kada izađeš iz telefonske govornice i pokušaš letjeti
02:15
and the very people you want to save
51
120000
2000
i osobe koje želiš spasiti
02:17
are the ones standing on your cape;
52
122000
2000
su one koje ti stoje na plaštu;
02:19
when your boots will fill with rain,
53
124000
2000
kada ti se čizme ispune kišom,
02:21
and you'll be up to your knees in disappointment.
54
126000
2000
i biti ćeš do koljena u razočaranju.
02:23
And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say thank you.
55
128000
3000
A to su dani kada imate još više razloga za reći hvala.
02:26
Because there's nothing more beautiful
56
131000
2000
Jer ne postoji ništa ljepše
02:28
than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline,
57
133000
3000
nego način na koji ocean odbija prestati ljubiti obalu,
02:31
no matter how many times it's sent away.
58
136000
3000
bez obzira koliko puta je odnio.
02:34
You will put the wind in winsome, lose some.
59
139000
3000
Ti ćeš staviti vjetar u pobjede, izgubiti neke.
02:37
You will put the star
60
142000
2000
Ti ćeš staviti zvijezdu
02:39
in starting over, and over.
61
144000
2000
i početi isponova i isponova.
02:41
And no matter how many land mines erupt in a minute,
62
146000
3000
I bez obzira koliko mina eksplodira u minuti,
02:44
be sure your mind lands
63
149000
2000
budi sigurna da tvoj um prizemlji
02:46
on the beauty of this funny place called life.
64
151000
2000
na ljepotu ovog smiješnog mjesta zvanog život.
02:48
And yes, on a scale from one to over-trusting,
65
153000
3000
I da, na skali od jedan do nad-povjerljiv,
02:51
I am pretty damn naive.
66
156000
2000
ja sam prilično naivna.
02:53
But I want her to know that this world is made out of sugar.
67
158000
3000
No, želim da zna kako je ovaj svijet napravljen od šećera.
02:56
It can crumble so easily,
68
161000
2000
Može se raspasti tako lako,
02:58
but don't be afraid to stick your tongue out and taste it.
69
163000
3000
ali nemoj se bojati staviti svoj jezik van i okusiti ga.
03:01
"Baby," I'll tell her, "remember, your momma is a worrier,
70
166000
3000
"Baby", ja ću joj reći, "zapamti, tvoja mama je mučitelj,
03:04
and your poppa is a warrior,
71
169000
2000
a tvoj tata je ratnik,
03:06
and you are the girl with small hands and big eyes
72
171000
2000
a ti si djevojka s malim rukama i velikim očima
03:08
who never stops asking for more."
73
173000
2000
koja nikada ne prestaje tražiti više."
03:10
Remember that good things come in threes
74
175000
2000
Sjetite se da dobre stvari dolaze u trojkama
03:12
and so do bad things.
75
177000
2000
a ujedno i loše stvari.
03:14
And always apologize when you've done something wrong,
76
179000
2000
I uvijek se ispričaj ako si učinila nešto krivo.
03:16
but don't you ever apologize
77
181000
2000
Ali nikad se nemoj ispričavati
03:18
for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining.
78
183000
3000
za način na koji tvoje oči ne žele prestati sjajiti.
03:21
Your voice is small, but don't ever stop singing.
79
186000
3000
Tvoj glas je malen, ali nikada nemoj prestati pjevati.
03:24
And when they finally hand you heartache,
80
189000
2000
A kada ti napokon uruče srcobolju,
03:26
when they slip war and hatred under your door
81
191000
3000
kada ti gurnu rat i mržnju ispod vrata
03:29
and offer you handouts on street-corners
82
194000
2000
i ponude ti brošure na uglovima ulica
03:31
of cynicism and defeat,
83
196000
2000
cinizma i poraza,
03:33
you tell them that they really ought to meet your mother.
84
198000
5000
ti im reci kako bi oni doista trebali upoznati tvoju majku.
03:39
Thank you. Thank you.
85
204000
4000
Hvala Vam. Hvala Vam.
03:43
(Applause)
86
208000
2000
(Pljesak)
03:45
Thank you.
87
210000
2000
Hvala Vam.
03:47
(Applause)
88
212000
3000
(Pljesak)
03:50
Thanks.
89
215000
2000
Hvala.
03:52
(Applause)
90
217000
2000
(Pljesak)
03:54
Thank you.
91
219000
2000
Hvala Vam.
03:56
(Applause)
92
221000
4000
(Pljesak)
04:00
All right, so I want you to take a moment,
93
225000
3000
U redu, želim da odvojite trenutak,
04:03
and I want you to think of three things
94
228000
2000
i želim da razmislite o tri stvari
04:05
that you know to be true.
95
230000
2000
za koje znate da su istinite.
04:07
They can be about whatever you want --
96
232000
2000
One mogu biti o čemu god želite --
04:09
technology, entertainment, design,
97
234000
2000
tehnologiji, zabavi, dizajnu,
04:11
your family, what you had for breakfast.
98
236000
2000
vašoj obitelji, ono što ste jeli za doručak.
04:13
The only rule is don't think too hard.
99
238000
3000
Jedino pravilo je da ne razmišljate previše.
04:16
Okay, ready? Go.
100
241000
2000
U redu, spremni? Krenite.
04:24
Okay.
101
249000
2000
U redu.
04:26
So here are three things I know to be true.
102
251000
2000
Dakle, ovo su tri stvari za koje ja znam da su istinite.
04:28
I know that Jean-Luc Godard was right
103
253000
2000
Znam da je Jean-Luc Godard bio u pravu
04:30
when he said that, "a good story
104
255000
2000
kada je rekao da "dobra priča
04:32
has a beginning, a middle and an end,
105
257000
2000
ima početak, sredinu i kraj,
04:34
although not necessarily in that order."
106
259000
3000
iako ne nužno u tom redoslijedu."
04:37
I know that I'm incredibly nervous and excited to be up here,
107
262000
3000
Znam da sam nevjerojatno nervozna i uzbuđena što sam ovdje,
04:40
which is greatly inhibiting my ability to keep it cool.
108
265000
2000
što uvelike inhibira moje sposobnosti da zadržim smirenost.
04:42
(Laughter)
109
267000
2000
(Smijeh)
04:44
And I know
110
269000
2000
I znam
04:46
that I have been waiting all week to tell this joke.
111
271000
2000
kako sam čekala cijeli tjedan da kažem ovu šalu.
04:48
(Laughter)
112
273000
2000
(Smijeh)
04:50
Why was the scarecrow invited to TED?
113
275000
3000
Zašto je strašilo pozvano na TED?
04:53
Because he was out standing in his field.
114
278000
3000
Zato jer je stajao vani u svom polju.
04:56
(Laughter)
115
281000
3000
(Smijeh)
04:59
I'm sorry.
116
284000
3000
Žao mi je.
05:02
Okay, so these are three things I know to be true.
117
287000
3000
U redu, to su tri stvari za koje znam da su istinite.
05:05
But there are plenty of things I have trouble understanding.
118
290000
3000
No, postoji mnogo stvari koje ne mogu razmumijeti.
05:08
So I write poems to figure things out.
119
293000
4000
Stoga pišem pjesme kako bih ih dokučila.
05:12
Sometimes the only way I know how to work through something
120
297000
2000
Ponekad, jedini način na koji mogu nešto dokučiti
05:14
is by writing a poem.
121
299000
2000
je pišući pjesme.
05:16
And sometimes I get to the end of the poem
122
301000
2000
I ponekad dođem do kraja pjesme
05:18
and look back and go, "Oh, that's what this is all about,"
123
303000
2000
i osvrnem se i kažem, "Oh, o tome je zapravo riječ."
05:20
and sometimes I get to the end of the poem
124
305000
2000
I ponekad dođem do kraja pjesme
05:22
and haven't solved anything,
125
307000
2000
i nisam ništa riješila,
05:24
but at least I have a new poem out of it.
126
309000
2000
ali barem sam dobila novu pjesmu.
05:26
Spoken word poetry is the art of performance poetry.
127
311000
3000
Poezija izgovorene riječi je umjetnost izvedbene poezije.
05:29
I tell people it involves creating poetry
128
314000
2000
Govorim ljudima kako to uključuje stvaranje poezije
05:31
that doesn't just want to sit on paper,
129
316000
2000
koja ne želi samo sjediti na papiru,
05:33
that something about it demands it be heard out loud
130
318000
3000
da nešto u svemu tome zahtijeva da se čuje glasno
05:36
or witnessed in person.
131
321000
2000
ili svjedoči uživo.
05:38
When I was a freshman in high school,
132
323000
2000
Kad sam bila brucošica u srednjoj školi,
05:40
I was a live wire of nervous hormones.
133
325000
4000
Bila sam užarena žica živčanih hormona.
05:44
And I was underdeveloped
134
329000
2000
I bila sam nerazvijena
05:46
and over-excitable.
135
331000
2000
i lako uzbudljiva.
05:48
And despite my fear
136
333000
2000
I usprkos mom strahu
05:50
of ever being looked at for too long,
137
335000
2000
da me se ikada gleda predugo,
05:52
I was fascinated by the idea of spoken word poetry.
138
337000
3000
bila sam fascinirana idejom poezije izgovorene riječi.
05:55
I felt that my two secret loves, poetry and theatre,
139
340000
3000
Osjećala sam da su se moje dvije tajne ljubavi, poezija i kazalište,
05:58
had come together, had a baby,
140
343000
3000
spojile, imale dijete,
06:01
a baby I needed to get to know.
141
346000
2000
dijete koje sam ja trebala upoznati.
06:03
So I decided to give it a try.
142
348000
2000
Stoga sam odlučila probati.
06:05
My first spoken word poem,
143
350000
2000
Moja prva pjesma izgovorene riječi,
06:07
packed with all the wisdom of a 14-year-old,
144
352000
4000
upakirana sa svim mudrostima 14-godišnjakinje,
06:11
was about the injustice
145
356000
2000
je bila o nepravdi
06:13
of being seen as unfeminine.
146
358000
2000
biti viđenom kao neženstvenom.
06:15
The poem was very indignant,
147
360000
2000
Pjesma je bila vrlo ogorčena,
06:17
and mainly exaggerated,
148
362000
2000
i uglavnom pretjerana,
06:19
but the only spoken word poetry that I had seen up until that point
149
364000
3000
ali jedina poezija izgovorene riječi koju sam vidjela do tada
06:22
was mainly indignant,
150
367000
2000
je bila uglavnom ogorčena,
06:24
so I thought that that's what was expected of me.
151
369000
2000
pa sam mislila da je to ono što se očekuje od mene.
06:26
The first time that I performed,
152
371000
2000
Prvi put kada sam nastupala
06:28
the audience of teenagers hooted and hollered their sympathy,
153
373000
3000
publika tinejdžera je uzvikivala svoje simpatije,
06:31
and when I came off the stage I was shaking.
154
376000
3000
a kad sam sišla s pozornice ja sam drhtala.
06:34
I felt this tap on my shoulder,
155
379000
2000
Osjetila sam tapšanje po ramenu,
06:36
and I turned around to see
156
381000
2000
i okrenula sam se da vidim
06:38
this giant girl in a hoodie sweatshirt emerge from the crowd.
157
383000
2000
tu ogromnu djevojku u majici s kapuljačom kako je isplivala iz gužve.
06:40
She was maybe eight feet tall
158
385000
2000
Ona je možda bila dva i pol metara visoka
06:42
and looked like she could beat me up with one hand,
159
387000
2000
i izgledala je kao da me može pretući samo s jednom rukom,
06:44
but instead she just nodded at me
160
389000
2000
ali umjesto toga ona je samo klimnula glavom
06:46
and said, "Hey, I really felt that. Thanks."
161
391000
3000
i rekla, "Hej, stvarno sam osjetila to. Hvala."
06:49
And lightning struck.
162
394000
2000
I kao da me grom pogodio.
06:51
I was hooked.
163
396000
2000
Bila sam zakačena.
06:53
I discovered this bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side
164
398000
3000
Otkrila sam taj bar na Lower East Side Manhattana
06:56
that hosted a weekly poetry open mic,
165
401000
3000
koji je održavao tjedne večeri poezije,
06:59
and my bewildered, but supportive, parents took me
166
404000
3000
i moji zbunjeni, ali podržavajući, roditelji su me poveli
07:02
to soak in every ounce of spoken word that I could.
167
407000
3000
kako bih upijala svaku uncu izgovorene riječi koju sam mogla.
07:05
I was the youngest by at least a decade,
168
410000
3000
Bila sam najmlađa za najmanje deset godina,
07:08
but somehow the poets at the Bowery Poetry Club
169
413000
3000
ali nekako pjesnicima u Bowery Klubu Poezije
07:11
didn't seem bothered by the 14-year-old wandering about --
170
416000
3000
nije smetalo to što se 14-godišnjakinja mota okolo --
07:14
if fact, they welcomed me.
171
419000
2000
zapravo, oni su me primili.
07:16
And it was here, listening to these poets share their stories,
172
421000
2000
I to je bilo ovdje, slušajući ove pjesnike kako dijele svoje priče
07:18
that I learned that spoken word poetry didn't have to be indignant,
173
423000
3000
gdje sam saznala da poezija izgovorene riječi ne mora biti puna gorčine,
07:21
it could be fun or painful
174
426000
3000
već može biti zabavna ili bolna
07:24
or serious or silly.
175
429000
2000
ili ozbiljna ili glupa.
07:26
The Bowery Poetry Club became my classroom and my home,
176
431000
3000
Poetski Klub Bowery je postao moj razred i moj dom.
07:29
and the poets who performed
177
434000
2000
A pjesnici koji su nastupali
07:31
encouraged me to share my stories as well.
178
436000
2000
su me poticali da podijelim svoje priče isto tako.
07:33
Never mind the fact that I was 14 --
179
438000
2000
Nema veze što mi je bilo 14 --
07:35
they told me, "Write about being 14."
180
440000
3000
oni su mi rekli, "Piši o tome što imaš 14 godina."
07:38
So I did and stood amazed every week
181
443000
2000
Tako sam i napravila i svaki tjedan ostajala zadivljena
07:40
when these brilliant, grown-up poets
182
445000
3000
kada su se ti briljantni, odrasli pjesnici
07:43
laughed with me and groaned their sympathy
183
448000
2000
smijali sa mnom i stenjali sućut
07:45
and clapped and told me, "Hey, I really felt that too."
184
450000
3000
i pljeskali mi i rekli mi: "Hej, stvarno sam osjetio to."
07:49
Now I can divide my spoken word journey
185
454000
3000
Sada mogu podijeliti svoje putovanje izgovorene riječi
07:52
into three steps.
186
457000
2000
u tri koraka.
07:54
Step one was the moment I said,
187
459000
2000
Korak jedan je bio trenutak kada sam rekla,
07:56
"I can. I can do this."
188
461000
2000
"Ja mogu. Ja mogu to učiniti."
07:58
And that was thanks to a girl in a hoodie.
189
463000
2000
A to je bilo zahvaljujući djevojci u majici s kapuljačom.
08:00
Step two was the moment I said,
190
465000
2000
Drugi korak je bio trenutak kada sam rekla,
08:02
"I will. I will continue.
191
467000
2000
"Hoću. Nastavit ću.
08:04
I love spoken word. I will keep coming back week after week."
192
469000
3000
Volim izgovorenu riječ. Vraćat ću se ovdje svaki tjedan."
08:07
And step three began
193
472000
2000
A treći korak je počeo
08:09
when I realized that I didn't have to write poems that were indignant,
194
474000
2000
kada sam shvatila da nisam trebala pisati pjesme koje su pune gorčine,
08:11
if that's not what I was.
195
476000
2000
ako to nije ono što sam ja.
08:13
There were things that were specific to me,
196
478000
2000
Bilo je stvari koje su specifične za mene,
08:15
and the more that I focused on those things,
197
480000
3000
i što sam se više usredotočila na te stvari,
08:18
the weirder my poetry got,
198
483000
2000
čudniju bih poeziju dobila,
08:20
but the more that it felt like mine.
199
485000
2000
ali onu koja je više nalik meni.
08:22
It's not just the adage "write what you know."
200
487000
3000
To nije samo poslovica "napišite što znate,"
08:25
It's about gathering up all of the knowledge and experience
201
490000
3000
riječ je o skupljanju svog znanja i iskustva
08:28
you've collected up to now
202
493000
2000
koje ste prikupili do sada
08:30
to help you dive into the things you don't know.
203
495000
3000
kako bi vam pomoglo da zaronite u stvari koje ne znate.
08:33
I use poetry to help me work through what I don't understand,
204
498000
2000
Koristim poeziju da mi pomogne da idem kroz ono što ne razumijem,
08:35
but I show up to each new poem
205
500000
2000
ali pojavim se pred svakom novom pjesmom
08:37
with a backpack full
206
502000
2000
s ruksakom punim
08:39
of everywhere else that I've been.
207
504000
2000
svih drugih mjesta gdje sam bila.
08:41
When I got to university, I met a fellow poet
208
506000
3000
Kada sam došla na sveučilište, upoznala sam kolegu pjesnika
08:44
who shared my belief in the magic of spoken word poetry.
209
509000
3000
koji dijeli moje vjerovanje u magiju poezije izgovorene riječi.
08:47
And actually, Phil Kaye and I
210
512000
2000
I zapravo, Phil Kaye i ja
08:49
coincidentally also share the same last name.
211
514000
3000
slučajno također dijelimo isto prezime.
08:52
When I was in high school I had created Project V.O.I.C.E.
212
517000
3000
Dok sam bila u srednjoj školi kreirala sam Project V.O.I.C.E.
08:55
as a way to encourage my friends to do spoken word with me.
213
520000
3000
kao način da potaknem svoje prijatelje da se uključe u poeziju sa mnom.
08:58
But Phil and I decided to reinvent Project V.O.I.C.E. --
214
523000
3000
No, Phil i ja smo odlučili da ponovno izumimo projekt V.O.I.C.E. --
09:01
this time changing the mission
215
526000
2000
ovaj put mijenjajući misiju
09:03
to using spoken word poetry as a way to entertain,
216
528000
3000
na korištenje poezije izgovorene riječi kao način zabave,
09:06
educate and inspire.
217
531000
2000
educiranja i nadahnuća.
09:08
We stayed full-time students, but in between we traveled,
218
533000
2000
Ostali smo redovni studenti, no između smo putovali,
09:10
performing and teaching
219
535000
2000
nastupali i podučavali
09:12
nine-year-olds to MFA candidates,
220
537000
3000
od devetogodišnjaka do MFA kandidata,
09:15
from California to Indiana to India
221
540000
3000
od Kalifornije do Indiane do Indije
09:18
to a public high school just up the street from campus.
222
543000
3000
do državne srednje škole samo jednu ulicu dalje od kampusa.
09:21
And we saw over and over
223
546000
2000
I vidjeli smo iznova i iznova
09:23
the way that spoken word poetry
224
548000
2000
kako poezija izgovorene riječi
09:25
cracks open locks.
225
550000
2000
otvara brave.
09:27
But it turns out sometimes,
226
552000
2000
No, ispostavilo se ponekad,
09:29
poetry can be really scary.
227
554000
2000
poezija može biti jako zastrašujuća.
09:31
Turns out sometimes,
228
556000
2000
Ispada da ponekad,
09:33
you have to trick teenagers into writing poetry.
229
558000
3000
morate zavarati tinejdžere u pisanje poezije.
09:36
So I came up with lists. Everyone can write lists.
230
561000
3000
Tako sam došla do popisa. Svatko može pisati popise.
09:39
And the first list that I assign
231
564000
2000
I prvi popis koji dodijeljujem
09:41
is "10 Things I Know to be True."
232
566000
3000
je "10 Stvari za koje znam da su istinite."
09:44
And here's what happens, and here's what you would discover too
233
569000
3000
I ovo se događa, a ovo je nešto što ćete i vi otkriti
09:47
if we all started sharing our lists out loud.
234
572000
2000
kad bi svi počeli dijeliti naše popise naglas.
09:49
At a certain point, you would realize
235
574000
2000
U određenom trenutku, shvatili biste
09:51
that someone has the exact same thing,
236
576000
3000
da netko ima točno istu stvar,
09:54
or one thing very similar,
237
579000
2000
ili jednu stvar vrlo sličnu,
09:56
to something on your list.
238
581000
2000
nečemu na vašem popisu.
09:58
And then someone else
239
583000
2000
A onda netko drugi
10:00
has something the complete opposite of yours.
240
585000
3000
ima nešto potpuno suprotno od vašeg.
10:03
Third, someone has something you've never even heard of before.
241
588000
3000
Treće, netko ima nešto što nikad prije niste ni čuli.
10:06
And fourth, someone has something you thought you knew everything about,
242
591000
3000
I četvrto, netko ima nešto o čemu ste mislili da znate sve,
10:09
but they're introducing a new angle of looking at it.
243
594000
3000
ali oni uvode novi kut gledanja na to.
10:12
And I tell people that this is where great stories start from --
244
597000
3000
A ja kažem ljudima da je to gdje velike priče počinju --
10:15
these four intersections
245
600000
2000
ova četiri raskrižja
10:17
of what you're passionate about
246
602000
2000
vaših strasti
10:19
and what others might be invested in.
247
604000
2000
i onoga u što su drugi možda uložili.
10:21
And most people respond really well to this exercise.
248
606000
3000
I većina ljudi reagira jako dobro na ovu vježbu.
10:24
But one of my students, a freshman named Charlotte,
249
609000
3000
No, jedna od mojih učenica, brucošica Charlotte,
10:27
was not convinced.
250
612000
2000
nije bila uvjerena.
10:29
Charlotte was very good at writing lists, but she refused to write any poems.
251
614000
3000
Charlotte je bila jako dobra u pisanju lista, ali je odbila napisati bilo koju pjesmu.
10:32
"Miss," she'd say, "I'm just not interesting.
252
617000
3000
"Gospođice", rekla bi, "Ja nisam zanimljiva.
10:35
I don't have anything interesting to say."
253
620000
3000
Nemam ništa zanimljivo za reći."
10:38
So I assigned her list after list,
254
623000
2000
Tako sam joj dodijelila popis za popisom,
10:40
and one day I assigned the list
255
625000
2000
i jedan dan sam dodijelila popis
10:42
"10 Things I Should Have Learned by Now."
256
627000
2000
"10 stvari koje sam trebao naučiti do sada."
10:44
Number three on Charlotte's list was,
257
629000
2000
Broj tri na Charlottinom popisu je bio,
10:46
"I should have learned not to crush on guys
258
631000
2000
"Trebala sam naučiti da se ne zaljubljujem u dečke
10:48
three times my age."
259
633000
2000
tri puta starije od mene."
10:50
I asked her what that meant,
260
635000
2000
Pitala sam je što to znači,
10:52
and she said, "Miss, it's kind of a long story."
261
637000
2000
i ona reče, "Gospođice, to je duga priča."
10:54
And I said, "Charlotte, it sounds pretty interesting to me."
262
639000
3000
A ja sam rekla, "Charlotte, to mi zvuči prilično zanimljivo."
10:57
And so she wrote her first poem,
263
642000
2000
I tako je napisala svoju prvu pjesmu,
10:59
a love poem unlike any I had ever heard before.
264
644000
3000
ljubavnu pjesmu nimalo nalik na nešto što sam čula već otprije.
11:02
And the poem began,
265
647000
3000
A pjesma je počela,
11:05
"Anderson Cooper is a gorgeous man."
266
650000
2000
"Anderson Cooper je prekrasan muškarac."
11:07
(Laughter)
267
652000
2000
(Smijeh)
11:09
"Did you see him on 60 Minutes,
268
654000
2000
"Jeste li ga vidjeli na 60 minuta,
11:11
racing Michael Phelps in a pool --
269
656000
2000
kako se utrkuje s Michaelom Phelpsom u bazenu --
11:13
nothing but swim trunks on --
270
658000
2000
ništa osim plivaćih gaća na njemu --
11:15
diving in the water, determined to beat this swimming champion?
271
660000
2000
zaranja u vodu, odlučan da pobijedi ovog plivačkog prvaka?
11:17
After the race, he tossed his wet, cloud-white hair
272
662000
3000
Nakon utrke, on je bacio svoju mokru, bijelu kosu poput oblaka
11:20
and said, 'You're a god.'
273
665000
2000
i rekao, 'Ti si bog.'
11:22
No, Anderson, you're the god."
274
667000
2000
Ne, Anderson, ti si bog."
11:24
(Laughter)
275
669000
2000
(Smijeh)
11:26
(Applause)
276
671000
4000
(Pljesak)
11:30
Now I know that the number one rule to being cool
277
675000
3000
Sada znam da je pravilo broj jedan za smirenost
11:33
is to seem unfazed,
278
678000
2000
činiti se nedodirljivim,
11:35
to never admit that anything scares you
279
680000
3000
nikada ne priznati da vas bilo što plaši
11:38
or impresses you or excites you.
280
683000
2000
ili vas impresionira ili vas uzbuđuje.
11:40
Somebody once told me
281
685000
2000
Netko mi je jednom rekao
11:42
it's like walking through life like this.
282
687000
2000
da je to kao hodanje kroz život ovako.
11:44
You protect yourself
283
689000
2000
Možete se zaštititi
11:46
from all the unexpected miseries or hurt that might show up.
284
691000
3000
od svih neočekivanih jadi ili boli koje bi se mogle prikazati.
11:49
But I try to walk through life like this.
285
694000
2000
Ali ja pokušavam hodati kroz život ovako.
11:51
And yes, that means catching all of those miseries and hurt,
286
696000
3000
I da, to znači hvatanje sve one bijede i boli,
11:54
but it also means that when beautiful, amazing things
287
699000
3000
ali to također znači da, kada lijepe, nevjerojatne stvari
11:57
just fall out of the sky,
288
702000
2000
padaju s neba,
11:59
I'm ready to catch them.
289
704000
2000
ja sam ih spremna uhvatiti.
12:01
I use spoken word to help my students
290
706000
2000
Koristim izgovorenu riječ kako bih pomogla svojim učenicima
12:03
rediscover wonder,
291
708000
2000
otkriti čudo,
12:05
to fight their instincts to be cool and unfazed
292
710000
3000
da se bore protiv svojih instinkta da budu smireni i nedodirljivi
12:08
and, instead, actively pursue being engaged with what goes on around them,
293
713000
3000
i, umjesto toga, da aktivno slijede ono što se događa oko njih,
12:11
so that they can reinterpret and create something from it.
294
716000
3000
tako da oni mogu reinterpretirati i napraviti nešto od toga.
12:14
It's not that I think that spoken word poetry
295
719000
2000
Nije da mislim kako je poezija izgovorene riječi
12:16
is the ideal art form.
296
721000
2000
idealan oblik umjetnosti.
12:18
I'm always trying to find the best way to tell each story.
297
723000
3000
Uvijek pokušavam pronaći najbolji način da ispričam svaku priču.
12:21
I write musicals; I make short films alongside my poems.
298
726000
3000
Pišem mjuzikle, snimam kratke filmove uz svoje pjesme.
12:24
But I teach spoken word poetry
299
729000
2000
Ali ja podučavam poeziju izgovorene riječi
12:26
because it's accessible.
300
731000
2000
zato što je dostupna.
12:28
Not everyone can read music
301
733000
2000
Ne može svatko čitati glazbu
12:30
or owns a camera,
302
735000
2000
ili posjedovati kameru,
12:32
but everyone can communicate in some way,
303
737000
2000
ali svatko može komunicirati na neki način,
12:34
and everyone has stories
304
739000
2000
i svatko ima priče
12:36
that the rest of us can learn from.
305
741000
2000
iz kojih ostatak nas može učiti.
12:38
Plus, spoken word poetry allows for immediate connections.
306
743000
3000
Plus, poezija izgovorene riječi omogućuje neposrednu povezanost.
12:41
It's not uncommon for people to feel like they're alone
307
746000
2000
Nije neuobičajeno za ljude da se osjećaju da su sami
12:43
or that nobody understands them,
308
748000
2000
ili da ih nitko ne razumije,
12:45
but spoken word teaches
309
750000
2000
ali izgovorena riječ uči
12:47
that if you have the ability to express yourself
310
752000
3000
da, ako imate mogućnost izraziti sebe
12:50
and the courage to present those stories and opinions,
311
755000
2000
i hrabrost da prezentirate te priče i mišljenja,
12:52
you could be rewarded
312
757000
2000
mogli biste biti nagrađeni
12:54
with a room full of your peers,
313
759000
2000
sobom punom svojih vršnjaka,
12:56
or your community, who will listen.
314
761000
2000
ili svoje zajednice, koji će slušati.
12:58
And maybe even a giant girl in a hoodie
315
763000
2000
A možda će se čak i ogromna djevojka u majici s kapuljačom
13:00
will connect with what you've shared.
316
765000
2000
povezati s onim što ste podijelili.
13:02
And that is an amazing realization to have,
317
767000
3000
I to je nevjerojatna realizacija koju možete posjedovati,
13:05
especially when you're 14.
318
770000
2000
pogotovo kada vam je 14 godina.
13:07
Plus, now with YouTube,
319
772000
2000
Plus, sada sa YouTube-om,
13:09
that connection's not even limited to the room we're in.
320
774000
2000
te veze nisu ograničene samo na prostorije u kojima se nalazimo.
13:11
I'm so lucky that there's this archive of performances
321
776000
3000
Ja sam tako sretna što postoji ova arhiva nastupa
13:14
that I can share with my students.
322
779000
2000
koje mogu podijeliti sa svojim učenicima.
13:16
It allows for even more opportunities
323
781000
2000
To im omogućava još više mogućnosti
13:18
for them to find a poet or a poem
324
783000
3000
da pronađu pjesnika ili pjesmu
13:21
that they connect to.
325
786000
2000
s kojom se mogu spojiti.
13:23
It is tempting -- once you've figured this out --
326
788000
2000
To je primamljivo -- nakon što ste jednom to prokužili --
13:25
it is tempting to keep writing the same poem,
327
790000
2000
primamljivo je nastaviti pisati istu pjesmu,
13:27
or keep telling the same story, over and over,
328
792000
3000
ili nastaviti pričati istu priču, iznova i iznova,
13:30
once you've figured out that it will gain you applause.
329
795000
2000
nakon što ste shvatili da ćete dobiti pljesak.
13:32
It's not enough to just teach that you can express yourself.
330
797000
3000
Nije dovoljno samo učiti da se možete izraziti;
13:35
You have to grow and explore
331
800000
2000
morate rasti i istraživati
13:37
and take risks and challenge yourself.
332
802000
2000
i poduzimati rizike i izazivati sami sebe.
13:39
And that is step three:
333
804000
3000
I to je treći korak:
13:42
infusing the work you're doing
334
807000
2000
ulijevajući u posao koji radite
13:44
with the specific things that make you you,
335
809000
2000
određene stvari koje čine vas,
13:46
even while those things are always changing.
336
811000
2000
čak i kada se te stvari neprestano mijenjaju.
13:48
Because step three never ends.
337
813000
3000
Jer treći korak nikada ne završava.
13:51
But you don't get to start on step three,
338
816000
2000
Ali ne možete početi s trećim korakom,
13:53
until you take step one first: I can.
339
818000
3000
sve dok ne učinite prvi korak: ja mogu.
13:56
I travel a lot while I'm teaching,
340
821000
2000
Putujem puno dok podučavam,
13:58
and I don't always get to watch all of my students reach their step three,
341
823000
3000
i ne vidim uvijek sve svoje učenike kako dođu do trećeg koraka,
14:01
but I was very lucky with Charlotte,
342
826000
2000
ali imala sam sreću sa Charlotte,
14:03
that I got to watch her journey unfold the way it did.
343
828000
3000
što sam mogla vidjeti kako se njezino putovanje otvara.
14:06
I watched her realize
344
831000
2000
Vidjela sam kako shvaća
14:08
that, by putting the things that she knows to be true into the work she's doing,
345
833000
3000
da, stavljajući stvari za koje koje ona zna da su istinite u svoje radove,
14:11
she can create poems that only Charlotte can write --
346
836000
3000
ona može stvoriti pjesme koje samo Charlotte može napisati --
14:14
about eyeballs and elevators and Dora the Explorer.
347
839000
3000
o očima i dizalima i Dori Explorer.
14:17
And I'm trying to tell stories only I can tell --
348
842000
2000
I ja pokušavam ispričati priče koje samo ja mogu ispričati --
14:19
like this story.
349
844000
2000
poput ove priče.
14:21
I spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to tell this story,
350
846000
3000
Provela sam puno vremena razmišljajući o najboljem načinu za ispričati ovu priču,
14:24
and I wondered if the best way
351
849000
2000
i pitala sam se da li je najbolji način
14:26
was going to be a PowerPoint or a short film --
352
851000
2000
PowerPoint ili kratki film --
14:28
and where exactly was the beginning or the middle or the end?
353
853000
2000
i gdje je točno početak ili sredina ili kraj?
14:30
And I wondered whether I'd get to the end of this talk
354
855000
3000
I pitala sam se hoću li doći do kraja ovog govora
14:33
and finally have figured it all out, or not.
355
858000
3000
i napokon shvatiti sve, ili ne.
14:36
And I always thought that my beginning was at the Bowery Poetry Club,
356
861000
2000
I uvijek sam mislila kako je moj početak bio u Klubu Poezije,
14:38
but it's possible that it was much earlier.
357
863000
3000
ali moguće je da je to bilo mnogo ranije.
14:41
In preparing for TED,
358
866000
2000
U pripremi za TED,
14:43
I discovered this diary page in an old journal.
359
868000
2000
Otkrila sam ovu stranicu dnevnika u staroj bilježnici.
14:45
I think December 54th was probably supposed to be 24th.
360
870000
4000
Mislim da je prosinac 54. vjerojatno trebao biti 24.
14:49
It's clear that when I was a child,
361
874000
2000
Jasno je da kad sam bila dijete,
14:51
I definitely walked through life like this.
362
876000
2000
da sam definitivno išla kroz život ovako.
14:53
I think that we all did.
363
878000
2000
Mislim da smo svi to radili.
14:55
I would like to help others rediscover that wonder --
364
880000
3000
Htjela bih pomoći drugima da otkriju to čudo --
14:58
to want to engage with it, to want to learn,
365
883000
2000
da žele surađivati s njim, da žele učiti,
15:00
to want to share what they've learned,
366
885000
2000
da žele podijeliti ono što su naučili,
15:02
what they've figured out to be true
367
887000
2000
ono što su shvatili da je istinito
15:04
and what they're still figuring out.
368
889000
2000
i ono što još uvijek dokučuju.
15:06
So I'd like to close with this poem.
369
891000
3000
Stoga bih htjela završiti s ovom pjesmom.
15:09
When they bombed Hiroshima,
370
894000
3000
Kad su bombardirali Hirošimu,
15:12
the explosion formed a mini-supernova
371
897000
3000
eksplozija je formirala mini-supernovu,
15:15
so every living animal, human or plant
372
900000
3000
tako da je svaka živuća životinja, čovjek ili biljka
15:18
that received direct contact
373
903000
2000
koji su bili u izravnom kontaktu
15:20
with the rays from that sun
374
905000
2000
sa zrakama iz tog sunca
15:22
was instantly turned to ash.
375
907000
2000
pretvorena u pepeo.
15:24
And what was left of the city soon followed.
376
909000
2000
A ono što je ostalo od grada je ubrzo uslijedilo.
15:26
The long-lasting damage of nuclear radiation
377
911000
2000
Dugotrajna oštećenja od nuklearnog zračenja
15:28
caused an entire city and its population
378
913000
3000
cijeli grad i njegovo stanovništvo
15:31
to turn into powder.
379
916000
3000
pretvorila su u prah.
15:34
When I was born, my mom says I looked around the whole hospital room
380
919000
3000
Kada sam se rodila, moja mama kaže da sam gledala po cijeloj bolničkoj sobi
15:37
with a stare that said, "This? I've done this before."
381
922000
4000
s pogledom koji je rekao, "To? To sam već učinila."
15:41
She says I have old eyes.
382
926000
2000
Ona kaže da imam stare oči.
15:43
When my Grandpa Genji died, I was only five years old,
383
928000
3000
Kad je moj djed Genji umro, bilo mi je samo pet godina,
15:46
but I took my mom by the hand and told her,
384
931000
2000
ali sam uzela ruku svoje mame i rekla joj,
15:48
"Don't worry, he'll come back as a baby."
385
933000
3000
"Ne brini, on će se vratiti kao dijete."
15:51
And yet, for someone who's apparently done this already,
386
936000
3000
Pa ipak, za nekoga tko je navodno to već učinio,
15:54
I still haven't figured anything out yet.
387
939000
3000
ja još uvijek nisam ništa shvatila.
15:57
My knees still buckle every time I get on a stage.
388
942000
3000
Moja koljena se još uvijek tresu svaki put kad se popnem na pozornicu.
16:00
My self-confidence can be measured out
389
945000
2000
Moje samopouzdanje se može mjeriti
16:02
in teaspoons mixed into my poetry,
390
947000
2000
u žličicama pomiješanim u moju poeziju,
16:04
and it still always tastes funny in my mouth.
391
949000
3000
i to još uvijek ima čudan okus u mojim ustima.
16:07
But in Hiroshima, some people were wiped clean away,
392
952000
3000
No, u Hirošimi, neki ljudi su odmah izbrisani,
16:10
leaving only a wristwatch or a diary page.
393
955000
3000
ostavljajući samo ručni sat ili stranicu dnevnika.
16:13
So no matter that I have inhibitions to fill all my pockets,
394
958000
3000
Dakle, bez obzira što imam inhibicije ispuniti sve svoje džepove,
16:16
I keep trying,
395
961000
2000
trudim se,
16:18
hoping that one day I'll write a poem
396
963000
2000
u nadi da ću jednog dana napisati pjesmu
16:20
I can be proud to let sit in a museum exhibit
397
965000
2000
za koju mogu biti ponosna što sjedi u izložbi muzeja
16:22
as the only proof I existed.
398
967000
2000
kao jedini dokaz da sam postojala.
16:24
My parents named me Sarah,
399
969000
2000
Moji roditelji su me nazvali Sara,
16:26
which is a biblical name.
400
971000
2000
što je biblijsko ime.
16:28
In the original story, God told Sarah she could do something impossible
401
973000
3000
U originalnoj priči Bog je rekao Sari da ona može učiniti nešto nemoguće
16:31
and she laughed,
402
976000
3000
i ona se smijala,
16:34
because the first Sarah,
403
979000
2000
jer prva Sara,
16:36
she didn't know what to do with impossible.
404
981000
2000
nije znala što učiniti s nemogućim.
16:38
And me? Well, neither do I,
405
983000
3000
A ja? Pa, ni ja,
16:41
but I see the impossible every day.
406
986000
2000
ali vidim nemoguće svaki dan.
16:43
Impossible is trying to connect in this world,
407
988000
3000
Nemoguće se pokušava povezati u ovom svijetu,
16:46
trying to hold onto others while things are blowing up around you,
408
991000
2000
pokušava se držati za druge stvari dok se sve oko vas diže u zrak,
16:48
knowing that while you're speaking,
409
993000
2000
znajući da dok govorite,
16:50
they aren't just waiting for their turn to talk -- they hear you.
410
995000
3000
one ne čekaju samo na svoj red da pričaju -- one vas čuju.
16:53
They feel exactly what you feel
411
998000
2000
One osjećaju upravo ono što vi osjećate
16:55
at the same time that you feel it.
412
1000000
2000
u isto vrijeme dok vi to osjećate.
16:57
It's what I strive for every time I open my mouth --
413
1002000
2000
To je ono čemu težim svaki put kada otvorim usta --
16:59
that impossible connection.
414
1004000
2000
toj nemogućoj povezanosti.
17:01
There's this piece of wall in Hiroshima
415
1006000
3000
Postoji komad zida u Hirošimi
17:04
that was completely burnt black by the radiation.
416
1009000
3000
koji je u potpunosti pocrnio od zračenja.
17:07
But on the front step, a person who was sitting there
417
1012000
2000
No, na prednjoj strani, osoba koja je sjedila tamo
17:09
blocked the rays from hitting the stone.
418
1014000
2000
je blokirala zrake od udaranja u zid.
17:11
The only thing left now
419
1016000
2000
Jedina stvar koja je ostala sada
17:13
is a permanent shadow of positive light.
420
1018000
2000
je stalna sjena pozitivnog svjetla.
17:15
After the A-bomb,
421
1020000
2000
Nakon A bombe,
17:17
specialists said it would take 75 years
422
1022000
2000
stručnjaci su rekli kako će biti potrebno 75 godina
17:19
for the radiation-damaged soil of Hiroshima City
423
1024000
3000
da na radijacijom uništenom tlu Grada HIroshime
17:22
to ever grow anything again.
424
1027000
2000
ikada išta izraste.
17:24
But that spring, there were new buds popping up from the earth.
425
1029000
3000
Ali to proljeće, novi pupoljci su nicali iz zemlje.
17:27
When I meet you, in that moment,
426
1032000
2000
Kada te sretnem, u tom trenutku,
17:29
I'm no longer a part of your future.
427
1034000
2000
ja više nisam dio tvoje budućnosti.
17:31
I start quickly becoming part of your past.
428
1036000
2000
Brzo postajem dio tvoje prošlosti.
17:33
But in that instant, I get to share your present.
429
1038000
3000
No, u tom trenutku, dijelim tvoju sadašnjost.
17:36
And you, you get to share mine.
430
1041000
2000
A ti, ti dijeliš moju.
17:38
And that is the greatest present of all.
431
1043000
2000
A to je najveći dar od svih.
17:40
So if you tell me I can do the impossible,
432
1045000
2000
Dakle, ako mi kažeš da ja mogu učiniti nemoguće,
17:42
I'll probably laugh at you.
433
1047000
2000
vjerojatno ću ti se smijati.
17:44
I don't know if I can change the world yet,
434
1049000
2000
Ne znam ako ja mogu promijeniti svijet, još,
17:46
because I don't know that much about it --
435
1051000
2000
jer ja ne znam toliko o tome --
17:48
and I don't know that much about reincarnation either,
436
1053000
2000
i ne znam toliko o reinkarnaciji isto tako,
17:50
but if you make me laugh hard enough,
437
1055000
2000
ali ako me nasmiješ dovoljno jako,
17:52
sometimes I forget what century I'm in.
438
1057000
3000
ponekad zaboravim u kojem sam stoljeću.
17:55
This isn't my first time here. This isn't my last time here.
439
1060000
3000
Ovo nije moj prvi put ovdje. Ovo nije moj posljednji put ovdje.
17:58
These aren't the last words I'll share.
440
1063000
2000
To nisu posljednje riječi koje ću podijeliti.
18:00
But just in case, I'm trying my hardest
441
1065000
3000
Ali za svaki slučaj, trudim se najviše što mogu
18:03
to get it right this time around.
442
1068000
3000
kako bih sve učinila pravilno ovaj put.
18:06
Thank you.
443
1071000
2000
Hvala Vam.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Kay - PoetA performing poet since she was 14 years old, Sarah Kay is the founder of Project VOICE, an organization that uses spoken word poetry as a literacy and empowerment tool.
Why you should listen
Plenty of 14-year-old girls write poetry. But few hide under the bar of the famous Bowery Poetry Club in Manhattan’s East Village absorbing the talents of New York’s most exciting poets. Not only did Sarah Kay do that -- she also had the guts to take its stage and hold her own against performers at least a decade her senior. Her talent for weaving words into poignant, funny, and powerful performances paid off.
Sarah holds a Masters degree in the art of teaching from Brown University and an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Grinnell College. Her first book, B, was ranked the number one poetry book on Amazon.com. Her second book, No Matter the Wreckage, is available from Write Bloody Publishing.
Sarah also founded Project VOICE, an organization that uses spoken word poetry as a literacy and empowerment tool. Project VOICE runs performances and workshops to encourage people to engage in creative self-expression in schools and communities around the world.
