thank you for the spotlight and kind words <3

i voted it’s complicated in the poll. i don’t generally enjoy instagram poetry, but i also want to defend it from elitist scorn. i have a whole post in my drafts about this topic lol. some months ago now i decided to give rupi kaur a second try, and reflecting on why most of her work doesn’t resonate with me helped me clarify what i do want from a poem. i also think it’s great that she and similar poets have made poetry feel more accessible to people. so it’s complicated! it might not be my personal favourite but it has value in the poetry ecosystem nonetheless.
