How does this picture make you feel, Veeky Forums?

Poetry peaked with Pound.

I've begun a rather small literary movement in my city, but enough that it is spreading beyond my literary group. It may not reach far but reaching a few poets that I don't exactly know makes me wonder if it could go somewhere

This is what Charlotte Bronte actually looked like by the way

Woah

Yeah she was scary woman and I like it

Me too.

Post some more attractive authors

its reading shit like this that makes you realize Veeky Forums's posturing is just retard chest thumping. yall dont give a shit about reading and yall never will, its just one way to feel superior over others that doesnt involve money or physical strength.

...

MAD.

Barnes and Noble will be dead soon

The world is changing, so is the canon. Rupi and others like her are representative of women knocking down the door to the previously male-dominated world, and the canon itself will change because, in the past, men exclusively decided the canon.

Ah yes poetry, the famously historically male only vocation

Women’s poetry, while prominent, has always been a second class form compared to male poetry. At least in term of the canon.

Did you know that ANYbody can just plunk down a manuscript about ANYthing and get a book printed?

Gutenberg was a mistake.

Did you know that ANYONE can write a story and distribute copies of it? And that, due to the limitations of the medium, change and adaptation to the story will be impossible? Written language was a mistake. Oral tradition is the patrician way.

Like I'll see those books in Goodwill by next year.

Says more of to quality than the representation

did you know that literally anyone can utter a word language was a mistake

Wait what, even niggers? Who allowed this

Language simplified the complexities of human thought, limiting the endless abstractions of emotion and perception to crude movements of the tongue and lips. The only acceptable mode of communication is group meditation leading to astral projection and intradimensional cognitive melding.

My mom really liked it

It's the 21st century anything that's worth anything must be able to be consumed by the lowest common denominator.

Equanimous.

It's alright and entertaining as a light read, but nothing special

Did you know that until Common Core, telepathic thought-language was being taught in public grade schools?

I don't care and it gives me a headache

Unrelated note: I was at B&N looking for Pinecone and my local doesn't have any Pinecone.

Chill out. I love reading. But I have high standards for the greats. Not to say there aren't talented female writers, but they're not in the upper echelon with the greats. Sorry.

You were lucky

...

How do you start a local literary movement?

It makes me glad that normies are reading paperback poetry again.
Haven't personally read her poetry but it's cool.
Ready player one makes my blood boil though.

Do something with your work that interests more than the odd man out.

From friend to friend, to store to store

I hate this attitude the most. If you think your experience is so personal and inaccessible how do you even suppose that others don't know what you feel?
Blatent contradiction

fuckin tumblrtier poetry that teenage girls like to eat up and show to their friends on instagram/snapchat

Only an ugly rat faced brown girl could be this mad at the very idea of beauty

Hey i have one of those. Bought all the light at an airport 2 or 3 years ago

Thats because they dont have money or physical strength

Hold on to your canon user it will soon be gone. The new socially enlightened are systematically removing them from the curriculum. Teachers are starting to stop teaching Shakespeare and if a writer had a "problematic" personal life or ever wrote a book where minorities are presented in less than favorable light then they too are getting the axe.

dream have*

laffed, thanks, user.

...

This literally happened at my school lmao

Many dogmatists have tried to rewrite the canon in the past. They'll fail in the long run, their own twisted morality will quickly cannibalize itself until they have no supporters left. In the meantime we clutch the great works preciously like the monks of Celtic Ireland as they watched the Barbarian ravaged ruins of Rome

So women should welcome acid attacks or at least things like FaceApp? I'm confused.

>FaceApp
Correction, MakeApp

Nothing that i haven't felt before.

When I look at the green sign I start to crave Lifesavers.

Poetry isn't fiction lol

Indifferent.

Bad?

Indifferent.

Can somebody explain Ready Player One? I thought that was the name of Star Wars movie.

It's a video game.

Ready Player One consists of a manchild from Generation X gushing over the '80s childhood in which his only meaningful experiences apparently reside via a torrent of pop culture references, leavened with Current Year attenuated-critical-theory tokenism and crudely nigger-rigged into the semblance of a story using a combination shallow post-millennial science fiction tropes and video game fantasies.

woah this some casual shit

>nigger-rigged

Lmao this is the first time I heard this phrase, its beautiful

No writer who finds great success while alive will be remembered far beyond death

>Rupi Kaur says she draws inspiration from other people's stories and experiences, as well as her own.Notable writers that she admires areKahlil Gibran,Alice Walker, andSharon Olds. She is also influenced by Sikh scriptures in her writing and her life.She has said that empowerment is her favorite thing to write about because "it's like becoming my own best friend and giving myself the advice I need".

I bet she hasn't even read the canon

That's statistically total horseshit

sounds really gay, thanks for explaining though.

>At least in term of the canon.
Yes, the men have 'the canon', the women have 'the well'

why should one care about immortality, though?

>competition in a free market makes the best rise to the top, guise! I sure like capitalism!

>in the communist paradise utopia the gestapo will force my grandma to read Dante instead of letting her watch the real housewives of orlando

All white women universally love her. I've met a solid amount of nonwhite women who hate her just as much as posters on this board if not more.

>Just curious seeing as it did win the Pulitzer

It's completely average "literary fiction" just like any new Pulitzer prize winning book.

why couldnt you focus the fucking image

>cultural relevance
>writes one obvious statement per page
Inb4 its "poetic"

>implying that wouldn't be a straightforwardly positive outcome

wheres the bible?

>I've met a solid amount of nonwhite women
you've gotta go back

shaking with rage
