Pshh how do you feel about Thomas Wyatt or Ben Jonson or Felicia Hemans or Charlotte Mew?!?!?! Those are famous poets. I think. Only time will tell

These poems seem like they were written by five year olds.

What in the world are these? Sentence fragments? These aren't even poems, lolol.

I love your comments and reviews on her absolutely shitty written books lol that is what is turning entertainment ... sad. But this is needed cause we are sliding to a pool of shit with this Twitter / Facebook junky generation

“But these books made me even more depressed.”😭

Have you ever heard of a Monostich? It's literally a single line idea or poem. Doesn't have any format. Poetry is also no longer held captive by a specific set of rules for formatting. That's why there are different types of poetry.

The person who said she doesn’t understand why someone would break up lines like that does not understand poetry. Even the great Maya Angelou wrote like that and I have a copy of her book written in 1990. To each their own. I’m in the process of writing my poetry book, so your video sheds light on the things that I need to be weary of before publishing it. Thank you for the video. 🫶🏼

8:30 She is writing fortune cookie poems (crack one open and tell me the difference)! 🥠

um i never went to oovoo javer

I like your interpretation of poems :)

Oh no-- I liked your breakdown of poetry so much I went to subscribe, but it looks like this is the last video you created for a while :( I'm going to subscribe anyway and be happily surprised if you do choose to upload more videos

Rupy Kaur : "you might not have been my first love but you are the one that made all other loves seem irrelevant" OMG. OMG. OMG.

22:45 also Bo: “kill yourselffff”

I looked up "poetry book review" here on TH-cam to look for recommendations and the top video had rupi Kaur and the princess saves herself in this one 🤢

9:50 I wanted to comment that in the intro of milk and honey by Rupi Kaur she stated she was writing about sexual assault that other women went through not necessarily her experience

She tries to be deep but it just comes off as juvenile

In today's time, a best seller need not be of great writing. It's all about the marketing, power of publishing houses, and how scandalous and pure nonsense they can come up with. Fake deep poetry.

The animal poem book is an a anthology by who please?

That poem about the snail, is a metaphor... that is a device used in poetry. One needs to know what to do to be able to write. Takes study and knowledge lol this other books are simply statements to its best... boring as you say

Today's so called artists ... well, damn! The world needs help

just to say i used to struggle with sh, and the poem 'cvt' was so disresspectful i cant even explain

Good video. Poetry is nothing more than a transfer of emotion. Somehow, someway these Instagram/Andrews McMeel Publishing poets have accomplished this. I wish these poets would challenge themselves more but if what your are writing makes money then why change?

Your commentary is clear and frank which is what I love. Straight to the point! Happy to hear that poetry helped you to lift your mood! Thank you so much for sharing this!! Lucy is sending her full support to you! You've got a new friend here!! 🥰😊 Like 157!!

I grew up in Derry and I love your research into The Troubles. The Troubles punched my family and neighbors and school mates. But I'm not here to grade your video. I'm not qualified. I love that you really went into the history of The Troubles. And your comparison between the world of children and the world of parents and how they are very similar. And how the parent/child relationships are experienced in different series like Stranger Things. And finally: is there any character more perfect than Sister Michael? Of course not.

Great video, I loved it.

All of Gabbie’s poems have a twinge of self-pity or self-mockery or bitterness, and although it can work if used correctly it takes a shit ton of practice and it requires being able to judge yourself correctly. Bo’s poems, on the other hand, tend to be not only relatable, but they’re also well-constructed (he has more practice) and extend to include the viewpoint of whoever might be reading rather than just their reaction. In addition, the fact that he can put the feelings into words show that he genuinely knows what they feel like. Gabbie’s poetry is self-indulgent, whereas Bo’s poetry is self-exposing.

4:00 "just call it a quotes collection" --- spot on Pauline!

i bought a rupi kaur book when i was doing a year writing a poem everyday, hoping for inspiration.... lets just say i didnt get much from milk and honey...

i really love how you compare both books ^-^! just bought the burnham poetry book :)

you should try ‘film for her’ by orion carloto, she’s def improved since flux

Love the show and love your enthusiasm!! They are both a fun watch!!

I always thought they seemed similar.

I'm a 50 year old American male, and Love this show just like you do. Very hard for me to describe my feelings for it, but you did a fantastic job of it. Thank you.

Poems have a deeper meaning. I can be interpreted in many different ways, for one it might be about love and another anger for example. But gabbie hannas “poems” just exist. I cant relate to it because theres nothing to relate to.

Derry is a village lol

personally i’d compare i like sleep by gabbie with i f-k sl-ts by bo because they have similar rhythms and repeat words in the same way, especially in the first stanza which means i f-k sl-ts could be the main inspiration for i like sleep but i f-k sl-ts adds more detail afterwards and literally even adds a meaning whereas i like sleep just seems like a cheesy rhyming poem with not much point

I'm from derry, I grew up in these times, ur observations are so spot on, amazing work!

Gabbie's book would maybe have been fine on its own but knowing that she's inspired by Bo just makes hers seem so much worse I really want to buy his book now because the few poems you showed have so much depth it makes me so curious to know how deep his book goes

Thanks for breaking this down. Subscribed

I think the biggest difference is how unnatural Gabbie's poems sound compared to bo's.

Amazing video!!!! ✨

I couldn’t agree more

How does "studying to be a writer" works? I'm studying language and literature at the university in Brazil... is it something like that? Also, i loved your review... its also good for those who want to write stuff

2:56 She's trying so hard not to be mean lmao- But seriously, I love how you did the video and unpacked everything, gave actual constructive criticism instead of just saying "it's bad, you suck"; you're super talented :)

Oh god that Ashley poem is so sad. This made me want to buy Bo’s book though, thanks for this video!

great review, you are observant, one honorable mention, the dynamic between the father in law and Gerry, I remember feeling sorry for Gerry as he was getting it from all sides

Great commentary video. I enjoyed the fact that you added other people's smart comments on the books too. It all makes me reflect on my own writing.

Awesome review! I'm trying to turn my friends onto it, I'm going to share this vid with them. :)

Gabbie's poetry concept is self-obsessed and Bo's poetry concept is self-conscious. The comparison you made proves this really clearly. Thank you for that.

What a nice work you did here reading both books, researching on the context and looking for the equivalences. I'm creating a book of poems myself (with poems from my childhood and youth) and I have been watching poetry review videos to catch some useful suggestions. I really enjoyed the comparisons and your comments on them.
