Default Rupi Kaur

I couldn't find a discussion here, so forgive me if I missed something obvious. PBS News Hour did an piece on her yesterday.

I'm curious about what it is in her poetry--so obviously cliché, but rooted in real passion and an interesting life story--that connects to so many. Is there something in her style, her form, that other poets can learn from? Can she be the harbinger of a poetic resurgence? Or is her work just a product of a consumer culture that's meant to be consumed and tossed aside--and thus so treacle-laden--that nothing of it can be appropriated into work that is meant to stick with us?
