Louder Than Words

di Sara Hirsch (Autore)

Burning Eye Books, 2017

Louder Than Words is the second poetry collection from spoken word educator Sara Hirsch; the former UK Slam Champion, ranked 3rd in the World Slam Championships (as seen on the BBC). Sara presents poems for and about young people and a selection of their responses in this gritty, honest and accessible collection. This is a conversation between poems, schools and hemispheres, including poems by students in London and New Zealand, alongside Sara's original poems that inspired them. These are the poems scrawled in the back of maths textbooks; the accidental masterpieces. These are the poems stuffed in blazer pockets, the poems spat in school playgrounds and the ones that never made it that far. These poems spiral between the personal and the universal in an attempt to capture what it is to write, speak and breathe as a young person today and as a poet who still doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. "Impossible not to be dazzled" The Scotsman.
