Didn't open the link. I'm redpilled, I just needed to look at her skin color and sex.
We have to keep posting this whore for months to come, to ensure that the resident leftist realize that this is what aspiring white male writers like us are being oppressed by through the publishing industry. Spread this to /pol/ and /r9k/, even fucking plebbit, we must redpill people to this gross injustice
I really dislike the prosaic nature of contemporary poetry.
This doesn't seem all that bad, though.
she's refusing he new-found position as a political pulpit and rather, trying to encourage new readers to seek poetry for the variety of ideas and forms it can offer. Also, she's honestly a good poet.
It could definitely be much much worse
She's conversational, but she definitely cares about the rhythms in her work.
>black woman
Sorry, but we live in an affirmative action society. When you demand that institutions award prestige to minorities regardless of their merit, you cheapen institutional prestige, eventually to the point of meaninglessness. In the days that Robert Penn Warren was the US poet laureate I could respect the institution because of the genius required to achieve its praise. Now that the Library of Congress prefers the mediocrity of a more progressive taste, it would be aesthetically immoral for me to respect this woman in any way whatsoever.
There can be no doubt that she's inferior to us as white men
Just finished it, can't say i cared for it too much.
She definitely has a good rhythm, but her stanzas are often lazy and filled with very awkward half-rhymes.
She wasn't the first black or first woman or even first black woman to be the poet laureate desu
