[Anonymous No.9550424]

>>9550405
I don't want to defend this woman's work at all but the way she formatted that sentence adds more meaning. "Fall" can stand on its own, it is more dubious than "Fall in", it arouses curiosity. Is it a physical fall, a mental fall? Nope, it's a fall "in love". Now is that the end of the sentence? No, there is more "with your solitude", another line that carries meaning on its own just like the two before it.

This actually reminds me of a Rammstein classic.

Is it normal to hate the vast majority of relationship poetry?

[Anonymous No.9550501]

All is not lost; the unconquerable Will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?
That Glory never shall his wrath or might [ 110 ]
Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace
With suppliant knee, and deifie his power,
Who from the terrour of this Arm so late
Doubted his Empire, that were low indeed,
That were an ignominy and shame beneath [ 115 ]
This downfall; since by Fate the strength of Gods
And this Empyreal substance cannot fail,
Since through experience of this great event
In Arms not worse, in foresight much advanc't,
We may with more successful hope resolve [ 120 ]
To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,
Who now triumphs, and in th' excess of joy
Sole reigning holds the Tyranny of Heav'n.

I actually don't mind this one, but it is mainly the spacing that makes it all right. I think it would be better if it was
fall/ in love / in solitude
For the repetition of "in" and the seeming contradiction of love without an object. "With your solitude" sounds pretty by the books to me.

Obligatory Kaur rant:
I'm not saying that her messages aren't "empowering" to the right audience, or timely, or that her success isn't impressive, or that Instagram wasn't idiotic for deleting her menstrual blood photo. I am saying that Rupi Kaur's poetry is flat-out terrible, identical in every way to any 16 year-old's overwrought "profound spoken word" drivel, her drawings are little better, and the fact that she's sold over a million copies and become #1 on the New York Times bestseller list doesn't change the fact that any decent pop song has better words. One's subject matter doesn't exempt one's skill from criticism. But I sadly agree that she is the perfect poet for our times: her poems are mostly indiscernible from the millions of cheesy affirmations clogging our social media, except that she carefully signs her name to each cloying profundity: brief, shallow, so utterly tailored to her target audience that they amount to flattery, even in the sense that most of the audience could do as well themselves. This is Rumi for the Instagram age. So why should this bother anyone? Well, by way of comparison, Dionne Brand’s 1990 volume of poetry, No Language Is Neutral, sold around 6,000 copies, a remarkable number, even with a Governor General’s Award nomination. Rupi Kaur's first collection of poems has sold over a million copies so far. In fact, more people bought 'milk and honey' than bought ALL OTHER POETRY BOOKS BY ALL OTHER CANADIAN POETS COMBINED, living or dead, in the past year.

milk and honey tore through my analytical mind and burrowed deep into my ultra-sensitive soul. It slayed all my emotions, my feminist desires, and my love for vulnerable writing. I may not know a lot about poetry, but I do know a decent amount about feelings, and Rupi Kaur brought all my feelings tumbling out with this gorgeous collection of poems.
She writes about love and loss, trauma, and femininity - subjects that I so happen to adore. In spare yet thorough language, she addresses what it feels like to be broken, to be loved, and to be stronger on one's own. This collection, while in many ways simple, addresses some of the darkest and most hopeful matters of the human heart. If you enjoy marinating in your feelings or if you often ponder topics like female empowerment, getting over heartbreak, or what it means to love, I would recommend you check out milk and honey asap. Now I will include my favorite poem, though I wish I could include them all.

On calling women pretty:
"i want to apologize to all the women
i have called pretty
before i've called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you're born with
is the most you have to be proud of when your
spirit has crushed mountains
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient or you are extraordinary
not because i don't think you're pretty
but because you are so much more than that"

Rupi Kaur would be better served as a gift card writer for Hallmarks. Milk and Honey is a series of tired, borderline obvious, feminist sentiments, stripped of punctuation, rhythm, and logical line structure. And I hate to say what art is and isn't--but this seems a poor attempt at what we commonly know as 'poetry'.

If you believe anything in this to be original, or eye-opening, then it just shows a lack of awareness for both the history and thought of feminism, and the formal experimentation of poetry.

>Fall
either the season or the instigation or call to fall

>Fall
>In Love
Again. Either the season as a setting and the state of mind of the lyrical subject or Fall in love, again an invitation or call.
>Fall
>In love
>with your solitude
Either the call or advise to fall in love with your solitude
Or: It is fall. Be in love with your solitude.
Or: It is Fall and I'm falling in love with your solitude.

Everything can have multiple meanings if you think about it enough. The difference is in Rupi those multiple interpretations aren't thought out, intended, or even make sense. They're just there to give the illusion that the work is greater than it seems.

What does fall (a season loosely associated with death and decline) have to do with solitude? Is fall slightly negative and fall slightly negative too and that's pottery? At most there is some aesthetic association.

Are you going to say that just as the leaves fall from trees, the happiness falls from a solitary man? Perhaps the chestnuts symbolize something?
