Oh my goodness. People need to stop comparing InstaPoetry and TumblrPoetry because it is not the same! There is an obvious difference and TumblrPoetry is clearly superior because it’s… you know… actual poetry with depth and symbolism and mature emotions (i.e. complex and made up of many different emotions, sometimes conflicting). It's not the same so just… stop.

#don’t compare lilac (a poetic genius) #or nisha (a literal muse) #to like #rupi kaur #(who can’t write anything with depth) #or #gabbie hanna #(who can’t write anything. hardstop) #poetry #prose poetry #dark academia #poems and poetry #dark poetry #love poetry #my poetry #original poetry #poetry and prose #poetry community #poetry blog #poetry corner #poetry love #poetry lovers #poetry on tumblr #poetry prompts #poetryisnotdead #poetrycommunity #poetry writing #tumblr poetry #instapoetry #instapoem

literally what possible direction could this video go other than misogyny. im not a rupi kaur fan either but 'woman single handedly destroys intellectual or artistic tradition by doing it popularly' is the oldest fucking bullshit in the world. the idea that theres some kind of sanctity of poetry that forbids women from doing it if its in any way that is cliched is so fucking weird. poetry is like...for being cliched and cringe and all that bullshit. Who Give A Shit

#myposts #genuinely a god forbid women do anything moment i DONT CARE if a woman does poetry popularly and mediocre-ly!! #thats what popular shit is for. being mediocre. this is status fucking quo #also that video of her doing a reading of one of her own poems that people got pissed over years ago was great idfc #there was an obvious tongue in cheek tone to how she was reading it that i thought made good commentary on her own work! #she didnt ruin shit and frankly neither did gabbie hanna shes just a bigot and probably somewhat unstable theres a difference #half an hour... #i cannot imagine being so upset at having to read something a woman wrote that im compelled to bitch about it #for an audience of strangers for HALF an HOUR

#look as someone who did read gabbie hannas poetry collection when i was like. 11/12. it wasnt good #(i know shes done multiple it was the blue one)

[dryope]

People will read one poem that isnt shit prose “s(he) be(lie)eve(d)” and has any other meaning besides enemies to lovers and base their every fucking literary critique on it from that point onwards. Huh

#im talking about that two headed calf poem. #it was good the first two times #maybe even the first ten #but at fucking fifty times seeing it gst reposted and reposted as some new striking art #it makes me want to fucking shoot myself #go read a book. go read a real book instead of scrolling on your phone and waiting for a google docs tiktok poem to show up #i HATE tiktok. officially deciding i hate tiktok #i HATE HATE HATE rupi kaur gabbi hanna fucking poetry. no substance. there is nothing #and im not comparing two headed calf to those poets but i am saying that the people who read those poets are some of the people boggled by #this poem #like i cant like i cant do it anymore

does anyone else really want to write poetry but get so overwhelmed by the amount of poetry that is considered bad. like what if i want to be deep but sound like rupi kaur or gabbie hanna or something. what even is "good poetry." at one point that meant rhyme and form and structure, but now all of my creative writing instructors have told me that making lines rhyme at the end sounds juvenile. walt whitman was considered terrible by believers in Form at the time, but now he's a classic and is taught as a standard in poetry workshops. would you consider allen ginsberg's poem "Howl" good poetry? it has the same repetitive format for 10+ pages of listing things in free verse, uses obscenities and slang and way too many real life references with little clear metaphor, has lines like "cock and endless balls" and "fucked in the ass" and "holy is the asshole" but it's considered a classic, a good poem, and spoke to a generation. even I related to it, because to me it's about the insane and disaffected friends you make when you're young and trying to carve out some community against the mainstream american capitalist machine. however you might think it sucks because it's bad form and a weird meaning. dog poems used to be so resonant but now have become "basic." short poems can be so good (i adore langston hughes) but i don't like rupi kaur and gabbie hanna, to me it just feels uncreative and boring, but i'm not sure if that's the same as it being bad because i'm sure with someone like rupi kaur being so popular, it spoke to someone.

i guess "good" poetry is stuff that speaks to you and it feels like there was love and care put into its making, and at least that's my definition of it. i hate that we qualify it with things like "good"/"bad," i'd argue that we should be more specific -- a poem is insightful, a poem is uncreative, a poem is truthful, a poem is shallow, a poem is generic, etc. i'd love to know, what do you guys think "good poetry" means?

I keep seeing tags/posts about the gay sex cats ai art thing that are like “deciding what art is good is elitist and weird” and “more effort doesn’t mean better art” and these people really Egalitarian Politic-ed their way right out of any meaningful interaction with art. Art being made by a human does matter and that’s okay!!! Van Gogh’s paintings are better when you read his letters and a drawing made for you by a friend will always be more beautiful than clip art and that’s the whole point!!!! “Worth” in art is not just monetary and art can be good or bad in a million different ways and that’s (fundamentally) what experiencing art is all about to me. Understanding why is the fun part!!

I think people get it more with writing so I’m gonna reanimate the corpse of Gabbie Hanna’s poetry book that was Not Very Good in terms of poetry meant to be purchased and read by other people. She went on a tirade about how it was cathartic to write for her and that’s wonderful (and I really mean that I’m not being snarky. that’s a beautiful thing) but you cannot charge people money for your unedited notes app excerpts and then get mad when they critique it for not being “worth” the money they paid. That writing is “worth” so much to the person who wrote it but it is not worth anything to the audience paying for it. And that’s art babey!!!! Duchamp’s fountain was never meant to be placed in a museum and gazed upon without context it was a physical manifestation against fascism tied to particular people in a particular time. A photorealistic drawing of a crumpled playing card on a white background is infinitely more impressive and artistic than the picture on my camera roll of the exact same thing both from a technical skill aspect and because it has entered the artist and emerged as art.

Basically please don’t let hand wringing theory about capitalism and commodification flatten your experience with art into some sort of disjointed morass of shapes and colors.

#I’ve started referring to this as death of the medium and it’s bad and boring #the fact that something is painted or hand drawn or digitally drawn matters and is part of the art #ai art bad #ai art discourse #ai art discussion #art discussion #art discourse #art #aesthetic discourse #aesthetics #art ethics #art theory #drawing discourse #I tried to tag this enough to keep it away from people who don’t wanna talk about art and just see it lol #gay sex cats

Just finished reading Adultolescence by Gabbie Hanna. It was really good! Read it in one sitting! It’s my first book of poetry that I own, actually.

Some of the poems were funny and lighthearted, some really made you think, and some hit and resonated so deeply. I found it to be a good read.

I hate going to class so much. I hate any environment that forces me with groups of people because my otherness is immediately apparent. I was not born to interact with people, I was born to write annoying posts on tumblr. When I die tragically young via electrical fire from always keeping my hair straightener plugged in next to the open window where the rain gets in, my account will be looked through by my family, and it'll be published as a book and bought by the same demographic of people who read Megan fox and Gabbie Hanna's poetry. There'll be charming little line drawings of the images i reblog, taking up half the space to make the book look twice as thick. YouTubers will spend hours on analytical video essays calling my blog posts trite and pretentious. My legacy will be secured
