What do you think of picrel? Are her works any good? Worth reading? I skimmed through some of her most famous poems and it just seems a bland black american political manifesto with no actual poetical structure

>> No.21268006

is this a genuine question or is this another thinly-disguised /pol/ thread where we rant about the absolute state of america and how much blacks can't into art or literature

She's not and never has been. She was awarded National Youth Poet Laureate, which was something that they made up specifically for her...she was the first recipient ever of such a commendation...the track record of past winners after her isn't so great either. It's basically a female affirmative action award for Rupi Kaur wannabes.

>American poet
Is there anything more pretentious and lazy than proclaiming yourself as a poet in 2022? Atleast 20th century poets like leonard Cohen or bob dylan evolved their writings through music and movies that have more genuine and artistic value to them rather than simple words on a page. Do people still take "poets" seriously?

Who? Also she’s black so I don’t give a shit. Even outside of books I’ve never heard a black woman say anything interesting before.

If you look at the description of the (((National Youth Poet Laureate))), it places more emphasis on practicing (((Social Justice))) in the real world and diversity than it does on the actual POETRY.

It's literally a shitty award SJWs came up with in 2017 for activists who write shitty poetry for marches.
