dear /lit/,

In two previous threads, anons expressed their disdain for the genuinely awful "poetry" in Rupi Kaur's bestselling poetry collection called "Milk and Honey".

Those threads can be found here:

For those of you unaware, Rupi Kaur is a contemporary Canadian feminist poet, writer and spoken word artist based in Toronto. She is popularly known as an Instapoet for the traction she gains online on her poems on Instagram. It's generally accepted that her work is barely poetry at all and that she is actively de-legitimatizing an entire art form. Her book "Milk and Honey" has sold over 500,000 copies and is a bestseller. Her poetry is being hailed as an achievement, despite the fact that it is completely devoid of any artistic integrity, effort, or craft. Anyone could produce and market the sort of work that she does.

To prove that ANYONE CAN DO IT, a few /lit/ anons have created a twitter of an "intersectional feminist, African queen, and poet" and are posting Rupi Kaur-esque poems in a google doc. The anon in charge of the twitter pulls from the google doc poems that perfectly toe the line between ironic for us and convincing for them, the plebs who actually love Kaur's poems. The assignment for /lit/ is to write more content for us and participate by spreading the twitter through retweets, follows, and likes.

The google doc can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xryu0eX2TcLTafLcWo25wdNaUQ2zY_BMSGvEDvLZ4Ks/edit

I will post some examples for the lulz in the meantime. This will be a recurring thread, since we hope to actually gain traction and once-and-for-all prove that literally anyone can write this garbage convincingly.
