I haven't a clue who either of these poets are (I did quickly google Lang Leav [as it was mentioned it was her poem and not the other fellow's] and her little books look very well done and obviously not for the likes of us jaded old fuckers. It is innocent. It speaks to a certain demographic (yeah, I said demographic, get over it). And if this inspires a young teenage girl or boy to read more poetry, then what's the harm. I really don't think it deserves such vitriolic attention. The poem isn't that good, it isn't that bad, and from what I saw about Leav, i think a lot of the emphasis is on the craft of making books and drawing.
anyway, fuck that... we should be voting on the girl with the amazing arse in the photo, and get all sexist and mucky-like (:
Shem are you being sarcastic? It's hard to tell.
So if not, I'll explain: Kloe Kardashian (who isn't a poet, and not a he and famous for being famous)
Well.......that is her ass.
)... but I honestly haven't heard of either of them, or hadn't up until reading this post. With regards to which, I wouldn't like my comments to be read as me simply being a contrarian for the sake of it; all I thought was the poem really really isn't that bad; and by THAT bad, I mean not bad enough to go to all the trouble of highlighting it; in fact, if it were posted here from some anon. user it would hardly register as anything at all. Having said that, I see that there was some misunderstanding about who actually wrote it, and I presume the original intention was more a personal attack rather than an attack on the actual poem; or at least, in deriding the poem there was a wider meaning and purpose. I still haven't googled Kloe Kardashian yet (and probably won't - famous for being famous is all I really need to know about people who are famous for being famous), but I assume she isn't well liked. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
