Why?

If interest in the experience young folks seem to have with her words and their form is just the sociological babble part of who/what she/her work than you already have all the answers. I have a young daughter who reads Rilke and Kaur and finds poetry in both. She makes me laugh much than Bill Hicks and has a better grasp of the human condition than he had on his best day. But I am partial, and think cynics are bores.

I found some sections of her stuff I liked. I like her better than T.S. Elliot.
