Everyone writing poetry can stop now. Melissa Broder has won the game.

I enjoyed the one about the rain, How I Get Over my Life was good, Dry Child was almost good, Essence Control had a few decent ideas. She didn't capitalize God...

It's terrible but I'm comforted by the fact that she felt she had to express herself in this way, and that she put as much effort into it as she did.

I encourage this.

Yes very much so--but she's expressing herself in a constructive way, must be encouraged. Who knows, she might get better if she keeps doing it. It's the same principle as a pre-schooler drawing, you have to put it up on the fridge or you'll discourage creativity.

I don't read much poetry..except for a few epic poems and Blake. I liked some of her stuff. What is terrible about it?

Don't use these guys for talking points to parrot later on after you've decided that you hate it now too. Just keep reading and work things out for yourself for the time being. Trust me.

Why are people starting to like words thrown together with no rhyme reason or meaning? Is that what's cool now? I need to know so I can impress all the hipster qts outside 7-11.

In general, I don't argue, or even talk about, poetry. I'm just interested in finding out what it is someone else looks for/doesn't find in work like this.

Yeah, qt retards like to call it free-verse when in reality they threw up as many "sincere" words they could think of into a blender and turned it on high. Then they wrote down the results while placing line-breaks haphazardly throughout the "piece"

We are truly living in the golden age of art if I do say so myself

There is no sincerity here. She is writing with the intention of imoressing readers, except she fails to do it with style, or subtly, so she does it with dirty sex. Oh no I had sex with a stranger and I feel bad. If she killed herself I would believe her, but otherwise she is a talle tless aging showpony.

may be i sound too edgy.. i dislike rather not the sincerity itself but that it's often considered mandatory and when it is aggressively expressed. i don't like strong feelings of any kind and like to read poetry as a fancy art, not as looking at somebody's dirty underpants

>there isn't one, not for us. bury your soul in the bosom of mutant mass mountain, leave humanity behind.
it is the only way for us. we are the beautiful ones.

Nay, there are more beautiful ones. Many types. Some of them are called "schizo" and "manic" and "frayed neurons randomly fusing together and spitting out glowing green chunks of Unobtanium ore". They shoot faint radio brain waves across the galaxy, and you have a brain wave receiver built into your mind.

Good at least at conveying beauty even if they're shit at anything productive or actually intellectual.
