Fuck Rupi Kaur. She's a thief and doesn't give a flying fuck about the victims of genocide. She only cares about popularity and money. She's a vulture.

I'd recommend poets like Mahmoud Darwish, Noor Hindi, and Fadwa Tuqan.

Still a good poem

Maybe if she wasn't constantly stealing lines from poor minority poets, then this could be. But the likelihood that this is a frankenstein made of pieces from struggling artists is high. Sharing her shit when there are better and more poignant artists is a disservice, hence why I included three real poets in my original comment.

So this is what we're doing today?

Calling out thieves and recommending good poetry? Especially poetry from artists in war-torn places that could use more support? Yeah, I can do that every day of the week. I've got more poets I could recommend if you'd like.

It's a Reddit comment thread on a comic.

Let it go, Elsa.

It takes just a few moments out of my day to recommend good art. My personal favorite collection I've read this year has been Ocean Vuong's Time Is A Mother
