Yes, reading the essay Sam links to, it seems fairly similar in tone to our discussion in this thread. I've still not seen any Rupi Kaur; for my part, I'm more interested in Ocean Vuong, who seems to be judging more than one poetry competition these days. I've now read a little of Vuong's work and am not yet inspired.
Cheers,
John
Update: I just came across Vuong's "Someday I'll Love Ocean Vuong", which I like a good deal. So there's that.
Update II: Frank O'Hara's "Katy": "Some day I’ll love Frank O’Hara." Well, that was my favorite bit of the Vuong poem.
