I had seen snippets of her poetry recently. I was not impressed. I watched the PBS video and again was not impressed. I get the feeling she is a manifestation of what social media feigns to be: applicable to everything. Thoughtful. Important. (Though I understand that her followers who share her same affinity for insta-this and twitter-that see in her writing an easy resemblance to what, until now, has been the art of writing poetry. I'm ok with coining her as a "social media-generated poet", but can't find much to glean from what I've seen of her work.)
I follow Julie Steiner, so it's good to hear your voice again Julie.
