Been seeing poetry become more popular with the start of Rupi Kaur’s work which I find not that insightful. Then came insta/ tumblr poems that are essentially a quote or something that could just stay in your notes app. After that came celebrity poetry with people like Drake and Bella Thorne. I did like Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass by Lana Del.
Books I read and liked
The Orange and Other Poems by Wendy Cope
Howl by Allen Ginsberg
Why Things Burn by Daphne Gottlieb
I’ve started reading older poetry books but I want to know if there’s any good contemporary books. As I’m a young adult in my 20s.
