Title: Katie Makkai - Pretty - a slam poem
Post by: Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith on December 03, 2012, 12:32:54 AM
('ware-- there's a NSFW word near the end... but listen anyway if you can)

This one will either make you hate it, or you'll go... wow.  I doubt there's any middle ground here.  Best to sit down first, though...

I really liked Kaite Makkai. Thank you Bob.  :)
Sarah Kay pretty much just seemed like a a watered down and polished up version of Kaite, with the singing in the beginning and all.

I guess I'm on a roll, here.

This one moved me, it did.  Sarah Kay has a certain way with words, methinks.
