Me.
Guess what my new year´s resolution was
>>7526273
Be the best living poet?
>>7526270
geez, what a pathetic, stupid woman.
I'm sick to shit of spoiled, middle class white American princesses and their "depression."
Everyone wants to be a victim, and "suffering" from depression is the easiest way.
Is all performance poetry shit?

>slam poetry
I have never seen a single slam poem by a woman that is not about her own victimhood or oppression.

haha I'm just assuming that there are others, I don't watch that shit
>>7526352
I made it my duty to find a single one.
Still searching.
>>7526342
bigotry has always been wrong regardless of what year it is. And what's wrong with empathy? Isn't it as fundamental to literature as prose, plot or theme? perhaps even far more important?
>>7526270
Is this poetry nowadays? I hear it like shit to be honest.

nah. you just feel threatened by women expressing themselves without following male-created norms.
Listen to this garbage lol

I give empathy when it's due. Not a middle-class American girl who has had everything handed to her and recently found out that by playing the victim you can get even more attention.
Also for the fatties calories in calories out not that hard.

>nah. you just feel threatened by women expressing themselves without following male-created norms.
HAHAHAHA
A spoiled, pretty white American princess crying about how her mom doesn't understand her "depression" isn't following a male created norm.
Yea, the dead white male authors of the past didn't write shallow tantrums and call it poetry. They wrote poetry.
>and by the way, so did the great female poets of the past like Rossetti, Dickinson, Browning, et al.

Fucking women man

A lack of empathy could be just as fundamental to literature as embracing it. Literature is about the human condition as a whole. You're being hypocritical; defending the slam poets because they express emotion , but then condemning "phuccbois" (your assumption) because they respond with how they interpret that expression.
>>7527568
Yeah, women are pretty shit.
>>7527560
>Tomas Tranströmer
He's dead m8.
>>7527703
So he is. Was there even a thread about it?
Tyler Knott Gregson
>>7527703
Honestly, I have no idea - usually I don't even bother to open threads about poetry here, because I'm finding them really bad (all that shit about necessity of metrics, rhymes, and I'd call it in some ways a backwardness and blindness before authors outside of few chosen ones; on other hand there is fascination with some poets I'm not finding really that interesting, e.g. Hardy and so on (or it was in some threads I've read, not sure how it is now)). And actually not really a regular visitor of /lit/.
And of course, the thread about his death probably wasn't here at all, because he wasn't writing in english.

God fucking damn it depression is trite.

>>7526363
You're kind of right about not following male-centric norms, insofar as if a male got up and whined he wouldn't be applauded.
>>7526337
>ITT bitter mysoginistic Phuccbois who lack the empathy to appreciate any art that deals with being a depressed, bitter fat white woman
Fix'd.
It's just too trite famm. Just too trite.
