I don’t know much of anything about it, but don’t you need at least a *slightly* longer poem for slam poetry? Like how is the audience supposed to have time to figure out where they are, what the idea is, etc. before the poem ends? Of course they’re struggling to react, no?

Tate’s “poetry” actually reveals a lot about why he is the way he is. According to his poetry, his father was sexist and abusive towards his mother. He manipulated Tate into thinking that his mother was at fault for the abuse by treating Tate well, leaving him wondering why his mother didn’t just “stand up for herself” or “do better”. This led him on a path to believe that all women are weak and fragile and dumb, because that’s what his dad thought. Generational trauma, I tell you. And now that people like Tate have access to the internet which young and impressionable kids have access to, he can broadcast his lies and manipulation to a wider audience. Shit is built like a pyramid scheme, istg. (Btw this isn’t me defending Tate, he’s a racist, sexist, and homophobic piece of shit and I fucking hate him and all the damage he’s caused, it’s just something I noticed)

Andrew obviously has issues cause he wanted a dad so bad, he ended glorifying his dads abuse and behavior in order to feel like he still HAD a dad, and wrongly places all the blame on his mom instead of his dad who was absent his entire life on his accord. He doesn’t want to admit the fact his dad just didn’t want to be around them, through no fault of the kids other than the dad being a POS, and he took on the msygony thing as the only way to relate to his dad (his dads “guidance”-slamming and blaming women for the ills of all society) and feel like he has one, when in actuality the only and true problem has been the dad the whole time. Because if he were a real man, he never would have cheated and abused the mom, he would have stayed and raised the kids and not screamed at his wife over a haircut comment. He was obviously a borderline sociopath. This is Andrew’s way of piecing together his misfortune child due to his dads sociopathic behavior, and that’s my two cents.

Jesus fucking Christ Tate's story of his dad straight up abusing his mom and him and then ending it by shitting on his poor mom and praising his dad is fucking insane.

Her getting mad that there was no applause after her poem says so much about the point of her poetry and why she does it.

Exactly lol, as someone who studied poetry, I can confirm 100% that she doesn't write any of this for genuine personal reasons and she also doesn't put much effort into these "poems". There's not even a single poem in her books that is written in any valid poetic form or even with any flow ☠️ Although just by the tone of voice she uses and attempts at dramatizing her words like she does we can all tell shes not invested in her words emotionally.

her poetry isnt that bad, its just the way she thinks its SO GOOD to the point where she reads it like that makes me want to cry

from just an artistic perspective, it's an odd stylistic choice to read a poem about SA in such a sensual and sexual way, with the motions she was using. It feels so uncomfortable to look at without the words, but when you add the words, it makes me feel like she doesn't even understand the meaning of her own work.

The one where she went “do you guys hate that one?” Really made me feel for the audience. The way that she read the poem sounded like it was going to continue. It sounded like she hadn’t ended, and that all these people had to go off of. So then her going “oh didn’t like that one?” Must have made them feel so guilty for not realising it was over, even though it wasn’t their fault. And I think that’s the main problem with her poetry, is how she reads it. She doesn’t emphasise the right parts, and it really impacts the overall poem when read aloud. It’s worse considering it’s not just an interpretation, but it’s how she thinks it in her head, which ruins the poetry for anyone who has listened to her read it. Poetry needs a flow, it needs to fit it’s literary patterns to its tone. The way you read it must invoke what it felt like to write it, and that is why poetry is so hard. You can’t fall back on anything, it’s all in your words and how you represent them.

i think the reason why she blew up is bc rupi’a poetry is accessible. easy to follow, easy to read. i think she’s a good poet that can be great. there’s a lack of substance in her poetry. she writes about heavy and important themes, but she doesn’t take it a step further. some of her poems are the start of a poem, and they don’t seem finished to me. there’s a deeper layer that she’s not really accessing. i also found it off-putting the way she read that poem in the beginning. it came off as sensual, rather than tragic and angry. i didn’t know that it was about sa, but i definitely wouldn’t have interpreted reading it that way. i would have thought the performance would have been filled with more aggression, anger, resentment, bitterness-not that.

I think her problem is just experience. Like, not as a writer, but in the topics she writes about. They lack the personal flavour that I would expect from a poet drawing from life, and I think they're often more like a poetry exercise than a fully realised poem because of that. The ones that she was clearly drawing from experience are much better and invoke more feeling, but still feel heavily influenced by the snippets of full poems that social media spreads so easily. She definitely has a few that hit though. The home in herself one? Doesn't need to say anything else, it hit for me.

As someone who managed a slam poetry club around the time of her rising star Tumblr days, I have always disliked Kaur's readings (it's so cringe and obnoxious) and "poetry" style. Her simplistic, somewhat lazy work is made to be marketable. Like Mindy Kaling, she also generalizes the South Asian immigrant/female experience to the point that it does more harm than good (at least, that's what I have heard from the community). Change of subject, the thing that makes me hate Andrew Tate the most is how he villainizes his mother (who was being abused) and idolizes his unbelievably abusive father. Even after thirty years, he still hasn't connected the dots that his father's erratic, selfish behavior plays a huge role in why he grew up poor.

The Tate "poetry" makes sense why he acts and has beliefs he has. That is called childhood trauma I believe.

I'm a poet, I really dislike Rupi Kaur. I think that she mostly just says too little. Her poems are all very short and most are very marketable. She has bits and pieces that feel like they could lead to something great, but she always ends the poem after giving a single nugget that could be decent. I'm not even upset about that; there are tens of millions of poets, past and present, who have been on a creative journey. I just feel that she thinks she's some great artiste when really most of her work is really lacking. And I fully support her right to share her story and speak what she has to say, I just find it sad that other female poets talking about the same thing (much more eloquently) don't get equal recognition. But she's doing well for herself and she isn't hurting anyone, so I suppose it's a little unfair to be upset. Idk man.

Rupi's poetry shares the exact vibes of the 'fake deep' posts on Facebook. She's saying pretty flat and unimpressive statements but acting like she just changed the human language...just like a LOT of fake deep Facebook posts about life and learning, haha

Seeing how his parents treated him and each other, the way he turned out makes SO MUCH SENCE.

My 12 year old online friend bought that book when she was in her healing era and she screenshotted the pages. I was horrified.

The best part about Tates poetry is that anything thats tweeted while he’s in jail, he’s not posting. He’s most likely telling someone to post that, so he told someone all of this with a straight face, and really thought he did something.

my english teacher had us watch like 2 minute poetry readings almost every other day in class for “inspiration” and like it was fine at first but it just started to pain me at such an incomprehensible level and i truly did not understand why but the comparison with standup comedy explains it so well

I write poetry and make myself cringe- the only appropriate time to read is when invited to a reading in a chill setting and even then I would only read my best poem which might take me a year or months to work on. But it’s worth it- I think the way social media, and capitalism tries to commodify poetry makes it inevitably shitty and removes the whole point of writing and reading and sharing poems 😊

I think Rupi has some good and important things to say, but I also think that a lot of her writing isn't poetry. A shower thought with line breaks is an idea for a poem, not a fully fleshed out, deep, resounding poem. I just think a lot of her work kinda feels lazy in that way. (also, the fact that she'll say a completely generic sentence and act like she did something super clever is annoying) But I do see how it could resonate with some people, and that's okay

Actually, as a "poet," I cringe every time someone asks to see my writing. I cry inside every time 😟😭💀

I have one of her books and its the only poem book I never finished. Like I grabbed it since I thought I might find something of myself in it but its so hollow and whispy. It didn''t feel like I was sharing trauma or experiences with someone, it felt like someone referencing a movie as if that means they relate to my experience

What you're noticing is that Rupi Kaur isn't a spoken-word poet, she's a poet. As a spoken word poet/spoken word artist myself, I hear the words used interchangeably but they are not. A poet is someone who can write really impactful poetry on paper (to be read, not to be performed by themself). A spoken word poet has incredible stage presence and brings an audience into a piece, instead of paper their medium is performances. You can be a poet and not be a spoken word poet, you can be a spoken word poet and not be a poet. You can also be both. The art forms are different and it's okay not to have mastered both.

I think reading poetry and speaking poetry are two totally different beasts. I view poetry as art- knowing there is a lot of emotion backing its words. The issue arises when people want to publish their poetry books, because its 'easy' to write a book. Unfortunately, it is incredibly hard to write 100+ good poems that relate enough to sit together in a physical read. You wind up with lukewarm, watered down emotions that dilute the rest of the piece.

Poetry is something that I love writing but I'm more selective about what I read; there are a lot I can connect to (check out ian s. thomas' "all the words we cannot say!") but there are some that even reading them feels too performative. But if you sprinkled a poem or two into a book of short stories, I'd read it!

I see where Rupi is coming from. However, my issue with the way she writes is that I feel like she's writing JUST to to blow up on social media. It's very 21st century-esq poetry and it feels so performative. The most amazing poetry for me has been the poems that access raw emotions in an unfiltered, vulnerable way that sometimes leads to pages of writing. Shorter doesn't mean better 😭
