I read somewhere that her first book of poetry was a compilation of these tumblr poems. There's no discernible talent. It's the same old neo-confessional, disaffected, bite-sized hipster hogwash that every college-aged radfem presents. She can't think, she can't write (at least not poetry). She seems to have no awareness of how to construct a sentence, let alone a beautiful one. To the op, if you think this is good writing, i don't know what to tell you. Your taste buds have probably been debased by the constant smell of piss and sewage in the NYC air.
