why the fuck is rupi kaur considered an actual poet?
Why the fuck is rupi kaur considered an actual poet?
Because she is?
She's considered a poet because people think she's a poet
It's as simple as that
It's not fair or earned, it simply is what it is
Go pick up another poets book, for shittin' out loud
I mean there's no barrier to be a writer or poet you know? You can say that she's not a very good poet but you can't say that she isn't a poet. If you write poems, regardless of quality, you're a poet.
she's a capitalist pig making money by exploiting young girls through social media, not a poet
Same thing, dipstuck.
I've read that article too mate
Funny but also pisses me off
>but you can't say that she isn't a poet
but of course I can, I just did. I can record videos on my iphone but that doesn't make me a director.
the difference is that even being shit she gets published and is making a fuckload of money. If that was the case with your videos it would make you a director. Otherwise your are an aspiring director.
Rupi is the most important writer today
>a ordinary
>not an ordinary
JUST
this, people don't really get that no one is anything except insofar as they are recognized as such. people don't think for themselves, they just think what everyone else thinks. so we don't have to consider rupi kaur a poet. because she's not a poet. she's a brown woman playing the identity politics game
to think I once used to hold migrant punjabis in high regard
Well I WAS having a good day... thanks a lot
some of her poems are quite good
Which ones?
Not many people are going to catch what you've done, OP, because they will barely even read something if they can reasonably believe it to be a Rupi Kaur poem.
wow that was pretty gay and retarded
no wonder young women eat this shit up
That is a lot better than her poetry. That piece is actually salvageable.
i stomped on a rabbit only yesterday
are there more 'risque' pics of her?
>inb4 that period pic
disgusting
Rabbits are not nearly as rugged as cats. Cats do not lend well to stomping.
Because poetry is virtually a lost artform to the common populace. What do you expect when even a significant portion of academia doesn't give a hoot about literary tradition?
She didn’t write that, it’s a common Yea Forums troll, people used to post pics of Savannah with Wallace Stevens poems to try to fool people
woah.......
so this is the power of modern poetry......
She is my Punjabi queen
