Sarah Kay is a writer, performer, and educator from New York City. She is the author of five books: No Matter the Wreckage, B, The Type, All Our Wild Wonder, and her newest poetry collection, A Little Daylight Left. She is the founder and co-director of Project VOICE, an organization that uses poetry to entertain, educate, and inspire students and educators in classrooms and communities worldwide.

The Stanford Spoken Word Collective is a student organization at Stanford University dedicated to cultivating exquisite emotion both within and without ourselves to generate explosive written and spoken poetry.

The Collective functions both as a community and as the primary logistical and funding body for Stanford’s Slam Poetry Team. We are a family of poets that performs at campus events, community programs, and ACUI’s National College Poetry Slam. We also hold quarterly shows, bring artists to campus, and host writing workshops. If you’ve ever wanted to see the mic rocked like no other, you’ve found the right group!
