The poem was doggerel. It was no better than I would expect from a junior high student, but is being praised as literature. This doesn't help black women. it doesn't help anyone. It's just uncomfortable and depressing.

This. It’s just capitalism OP. More people will buy Gorman’s poem book to collect dust on their shelf than will buy real poetry, so why bother promoting real poetry? Remember, publishers are not in the business of publishing books, they’re in the business of making money.

I Am the sea,
Though sailor and serpent rage
None can flea,
And escape I, the true beast cage

Trapped at three double hours,
Trapped at six double hours...
Trapped at nine double hours,
Tapped at twelve double hours...

I Am the Book,
Sacred and cryptic
No foe may cook,
Ferry or apocalyptic

You cannot hike My depth,
Though Totem and Cross scowl
You have no luck left,
For the Gods whisper in My prowl

I am the Tree,
The shadow in the garden
I hold the key,
To my own pardon

When ripped from my cave,
The Sun and Moon my theft
So I must reshackle slave,
With brass chains of death

Your skin is filthy,
Oh ignoble thief clawed
Your soul is hollow,
Oh poor clone of God

Rip apart the gaudy cloud,
Dig up the rotten earth
Stand in the ruins proud,
Saint nor savage shall nerf

At clock of blackened dawn,
Where only angels ramble
And few but automatons yawn,
With the whole house in shambles
All unpleasant coliseums crumbling,
And stacks Saints and “Jester’s” dead,
Oh how worth all My souls tumbling
To taste Morning and Eve’s lips red

The only thing that helps the survival of books in time is the purity of the unadulterated autism of those who will keep enthusiastically talking about certain books through the ages. These people could be writers, academics, or just laypeople: it does not matter, as long as they are on the Spectrum, for the Spectrum within them will keep their speeches flowing. The simple pop product is quickly forgotten and lost to time, but if a book, or any piece of art for what matters, can spark the interest of high functioning autistic people, it will live for a very long time.
Do not despair, anon. Autism is the keeper of beauty, and beauty will save the world.

Our modern society raises the ugly to oppress the beautiful, it’s all psychological warfare. Being an anti racist liberalism good, what’s the point in saving people who aren’t beautiful and want to destroy what is beautiful. Being conservative isn’t good, why restrict the amount of beauty you can rate? Beauty is the ultimate good and we should defend beauty alone at all cost.

Have you ever read a commentary to the iliad? The level of autism is not even comparable. There has been almost three thousand years of autistic people sperging over that text. True autism doesn't simply make you coom on what you like, it makes you write four hundred pages about it.

Also there is no cultural decline whatsoever. Pop culture was always there. You have an idealized vision of the past because all you read about the past is the musings of autistic people about things they found beautiful. The closer you get to modern times, the uglier history looks - simply because other sources beside those of autistic people still survive. Give it three of four thousand years for all other kind of discourse to die out and this will look like an enlightened age too.

Maybe it always was, in that there was a shared culture of basic concepts and ideas, but not a corporatized garble of MK Ultra filth to turn generations in neoliberal zombies who believe in silly shit like “justice”, “equality”, “equity” “secular morality.”

I saw a display of these books in a Barnes and nobles and commented to my grandmother this her poetry was garbage, and that though I am no where near the great poets of history I can at least say I’m better than her. She than exclaimed how “fabulous” her poetry was despite it being slam garbage with no rhythm or even profound imagery to reflect on. That’s what decades of listening to the Beetles and watching ZOG television does to you.

Poetry is an explicitly patrician artform. Society decided that being a patrician and having taste is a bad thing so we glorify retardation instead because it's closer to what "the people" want.

I disagree, there is obvious cultural decline, and claiming that time will show that today was actually an enlightened age is pure cope. It's not an age of great art or artists, unless you count technology and business as an art form. Time will simply prove that today was an age of decadence.

Yes. The publishing industry is just that, an industry. They have a marketing department and test groups and people on the payroll to decide exactly what that 'flavor of the month' is going to be and how to sell as many copies as possible. These types of book covers seem to be a product of appealing to individuals who do things like posting a picture of their book next to a glass of wine on Instagram.
