Update: All the respect I had for Gabbie for growing and reaching out and sending me this book? Gone. Completely. Straight after this video was published she went crying to our one and on my mutual friend about it in an attempt to guilt trip me and ask I not make anymore. I’m so over all that childish drama. You sent me a book, it got reviewed. That’s how the world works.
Edit: My mistake, I misunderstood: she went crying to him about me making the review before I published it and he only told me after it was published. It was never explicitly said it was a guilt trip but I see no other reason for either of them to say any thing / reach out other than to get me to change / stop / take down my review. But it still stands that she reaches out to me and sent me her book with the implication that I’d review it and then cried to our only mutual friend about being ‘messed up’ over the fact I was reviewing it. I only did what she asked for and her going to Jimmy like that feels like an intentional way to stir the pot. A review is a review. I reviewed the book, not Gabbie. Telling me ‘Gabbie is scared of your review’ or whatever is not going to change the content of the book and therefore not going to change how I reviewed it. I stand by my review 100% but also feel incredibly manipulated and disgusted by this whole situation.
Should I even be surprised :/
Props to you, Rachel. It must have been hard to review such a mundane collection and have the author cry about it afterwards.
*She thought that maybe by sending you the book herself, you'd be less harsh than if you got the book on your own. Man, was she wrong!*
To be an artist you have to have an open heart and a thick skin. It's a little pathological that she is desperate for one critic to change their mind. It means deep down, you know what you did wasn't even enough for yourself. Art should be first and foremost for be for yourself and you shouldn't be doing it demanding others like it.
Keep doing you Rachel. Not that you need my approval ;-)
I noticed that sometimes she does these things (like the move to send you the book despite your criticism) to show off how mature and self aware she is.
"I want my book in the hands of people who respect poetry" pretty quickly became "I only take criticism from people who have achieved things" like lol wtf
“…but not your achievements. I’m going to conveniently ignore those.”
@@RachelOates you deserve much more smh 😭🤚 you are so sweet stay strong 😽
@@RachelOates honestly this was a great video and she had the audacity to be like YOU CANT ACCEPT YOU'RE OWN CRITICISM. Wtf lol
So wait...She sent you the book...For you to critique it....And then got mad at you....For critiquing it...???
However many braincells humans usually have.... Gabbie has that minus 10
@@melissavancoppenhagen3756 She’s having some very serious mental health issues, and I do feel for her...but it’s NOT an excuse to treat people the way she’s been treating people the last few days (or years if we wanna go there lol.) Rachel didn’t like the first book so I don’t know why Gabbie expected a free copy of the 2nd one to change Rachel’s whole entire perspective on her poetry. She needs to hop off this rampage and call her therapist (edit: or get a new one bc I don’t think she actually has one atm)
bc she’s really burning herself right now 😕
@@ShelbyTaylorExists she made a tik tok saying that she's mentally in a good place and this is genuinely just who she is. She just cannot take criticism what so ever even though these are very valid and constructed critiques of her work. She's just extremely childish
Start this by saying I never watch gabbie I came here from Trisha who I am a big fan of and she agrees w this girl. However All of her videos are negitive opinions on things . And opinions are a little different she has so many hidden rude jokes that don’t need to be in here for example Its not a opinion when she said it could have been half the size and still a disappointment, that’s bashing she made jabs like this throughout the whole thing. over half of her videos are ab gabbie or other famous people shows she tryna get clout which is fine but most videos are in a negitive light, kinda weird right :/. everyone saying she just giving a review notice her just saying really negitive things and repeating them for no reason through this whole video then right after Quickly saying something gabbie does decent like youtube story times so it can seem like what she said before wasnt her bashing.. big difference. BUT she did critique too I’m not saying she bashing ! Just some of it was just mean instead of trying to help and give gabby hope to get better. What upset me the most to say anything was she says she should stay making story times Bc she lacks skill in poetry.. that right there is not okay everyone starts off bad at things u apply work to get better! I don’t think gabby should stick to that plus if she wasn’t trying to actually do harm she wouldn’t have told her that. NEGITIVE NOT NEUTRAL. whether the books good or not u don’t tell someone to stop doing something bc u don’t think there good enough.
I think it’s good gabbie is learning and she should continue till she gets better or if she likes it continue the same:) IF this girl wanted to help RIGHT AFTER CRITICISM AND BASHING SHE COULD ATLEAST TELL HER TO KEEP TRYING.
Not saying she Just bashing *^
Gabbie's version of Juliet's 'wherefore art thou':
"we love each other
but our parents hate each other
i wish you would dump them
what even are names, anyways?
you can call a rose something else
and it'll still smell like a rose
so like idk
unfollow your parents
send tweet"
Omg 😂😂😂
Now this is good stuff!😂
It's too good for gabbie!! She would be like:
"I love you
You love me
Our families don't want us to be together
And then we die because we love us."
So you can't interpret anything out of that but the words she writes.
Out, Damn Spot
"washing the blood off my hands
it's not real blood,
it's metaphorical guilt blood
but i'm still washing my hands"
The fact that this really could be a “poem” in that book speaks volumes
This is it? This is why Gabbie called you an abuser? Wow... she’s losing it. This is a normal review.
It's a narcissistic tantrum
I'm indescribably disappointed with this whole situation.
I was coming to the comment section to say much the same. I'm baffled, Rachel is being blunt but with both her positive and negative critiques. She said a lot of positive things!
people who accuse everyone they don’t like of being abusive/toxic/narcissistic/gaslighting/whatever should be avoided at all costs

fucking funny
Not surprising that someone who said “no one reads Shakespeare for fun” would create such an amateur attempt at poetry lmao
Of course she sad that.
On a totally unrelated subject. One of my favorite possessions is the "Essential Shakespeare Handbook" that I bought in Paris at "Shakespeare and Company" when I went there with my dad.
willy boy shakes is laughing
Having read Shakespeare, I don’t really get the appeal. Reading raw acting scripts in a mostly foreign dialect with no stage directions does not engage me at all. I do enjoy all of the dick and fart jokes for the groundlings (once you’ve spent way too long parsing through the language and cultural differences to justify the effort), but pandering to your audience doesn’t make you a genius. The sonnets are nice, and Billy had great technical skills, but eh, it just doesn’t do anything for me. To confirm your hypothesis, my poetry is terrible.
@@aaronhamric7679 understandable
but i just love shakespeare (except taming of the shrew and titus andronicus)
@@aaronhamric7679 to cheer you up i’m gonna say that you don’t confirm their hypothesis really. You don’t like Shakespeare but you understand why, you don’t go „old things are no fun” like Gabbie did.
the way you’ve put more thought into gabbie’s poems than GABBIE has-
Exactly
Basically the life of anyone in lit crit lmao
Omg you're right ~
I think up some poems randomly sometimes and they're better than what Gabbie makes
“the grass always seems greener on the other side, and sometimes it is- because it’s plastic.” is a thought i had once at 3 am. should i write a poetry book too?
actually yes
Honestly this actually has substance unlike this entire book so yes. I'd expand on it to make a full poem though, unless you're doing specifically a book of one liners.
Yes
I actually think that poem had potential, if she used plastic fake grass as a metaphor for the facade we put up to make others think we have everything together, but by itself, it’s not good
Tbh that's a very powerful thought 🤔
I also cry frequently in a Toyota Corolla, but I tell people about it for free.
WHSGWH yea i have panic attacks but i dont give people tickets and let them watch
Same, bro. You good?
Same
I think the point here is you don’t have Gabbie’s entrepreneurial spirit! 😅
This was more entertaining to read.
Half finished thoughts don't make poetry, they make-
this is so clever LOL
aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.. scream laughing at this like trixie mattel
this is poetry in and of itself xD
Looool
Bravo
The silver lining is Gabbie tried to bully Rachel and instead she helped Rachel gain even more fans. Seriously, she did really think people were gonna take her side?
That's how I ended up here. And I've found my new favourite TH-camr ❤️
Gabbie is out of her mind at this point so who even knows what goes on in her head?
If y’all think Rachel was being “mean” or “aggressive” in this video, then let me tell you right now that if you are thinking about being an artist (writer, singer, etc) in the actual industry, it probably isn’t for you. I’ve gotten way more honest & harsher critique from art teachers LMAO
I couldn’t agree with you more. You really need to have a tough skin, open mind and plenty of resilience to be in the Arts. I would feel so honoured to have someone evaluate and analyse my art in the passionate and knowledgeable way Rachel reviewed Gabby’s work.
@@rubybuttons668 FR I would be honored that someone is taking the time to analyze my work & also sharing it, especially when they are also passionate about it. I can’t believe ppl thought this video was mean. They wouldn’t last in a college art or creative writing class.
@@luz6528 Then on top of that, your teachers were analyzing and critiquing art for its own sake. As soon as you start charging people money to see your art, it’s no longer just art to be critiqued (for its own sake) it’s a product to be reviewed (for consumers). I think that’s where a lot of people who’ve managed to make lucrative careers off their art get tripped up, but especially Gabbie, who as a TH-camr never needed to learn to deal with reviews the way filmmakers and authors do, and yet expects universal praise (or, at most, gentle compliment-sandwiches) just for putting out a product containing material she’s created in an area where she has zero experience. Just the audacity of her response is a little galling even when you know about the worst of Gabbie’s history.
This x1000. I'm sensitive to criticism, to the point where even gentle criticism sandwiched between compliments can crush my confidence for a while... but that's why it's SO important, as an artist, to have someone in your life who isn't afraid to tell you that your work is garbage lol. It saves you from hearing it from someone you might not want to hear it from, like an audience of hundreds or thousands of people all at once.
@@jebediahhonker-tonker5901 absolutely! I always ask for ppl to not hold back when we peer review each other’s research papers in class even though I’m also frightened of criticism, it makes my work better in the long run
Rachel: *explains poetry theory *
Me, who knows nothing about poetry: Wow how could Gabbie make these rookie mistakes? Amateur.
RIGHT like I got a B- in high school english too
Lmao so true
@@missrobinson1212 yeah but writing is such a broad spectrum. She could’ve gotten into college with any genre of writing. Maybe poetry just isn’t her niche.
@@sarahatsu866 maybe not. but I guess time will tell. for the mean time, I really enjoy her music
@@missrobinson1212 lmao she studied psychology. pretty much all degrees other than STEM or fine arts are primarily about writing, but academic writing is totally different to poetry. foolish comment...
And now Gabbie is calling this a hate campaign? What the hell?
Its actually funny coming to this video to see how tame and calm it is compared to Gabbie's ranting
I mean, I think it turned out well for Rachel. I only heard of her via twitter listening in, and I'm glad I did, this is a great video lol
@@hanthony1503 oh she's worth millions of followers if it were determined based off of quality content. That Gabbie person still thinks that followers are all what determines a person's value. And for making quality content, this calm and intelligent girl is getting threats from her stupid fans🙄
Gabbie’s loyal army of 12 year olds have descended. It’s so beyond disgusting. They look up to this woman, and she’s showing them to treat people terribly and respond to constructive criticism with vile hatred.
@Choochoo choo Series of videos* bruh she reviewed her work a lot of other youtubers have created multiple videos on her so your argument is baseless.
I think poetry is one of the most difficult art forms out there. It's not something you can just throw down on paper and be automatically good at. Certainly, you can have a natural talent for wordsmithing, but crafting a good poem takes real dedication and focus.
as a person who practices many forms of art, including flatbrush, pointed brush, and pen calligraphy, drawing, playing 2 instruments, and a bit of writing, i disagree with your view. Poetry is a difficult art form, but so is any one of them. They all require countless hours of practice, 40 hours everyday some might say, to get good at. It’s debatable whether or not any of them could be mastered at all. Some approaches to creating art can be easier than others, perhaps but nothing eliminates the constant practice needed to improve or even just maintain your skill level. Poetry and other forms of creative writing are no exception to that in my opinion. Some languages and some forms make it easier to achieve given effects.
I know this could sound like a copout: “they’re all equally hard in their own unique ways ✨✨✨ and let’s not think about difficulty ever again” - but i’m actually going for a very specific point here. Essentially when you progress as an artist, your critical skills grow together with your practical skills, so the barrier of proficiency or expertise/“mastery” is entirely arbitrary. We live under a globalised capitalist system where a lot of people dedicate their lives to certain art forms and so we kinda have benchmarks all the way up to the ‘lifetime dedication’ level. If you don’t know the names, you’ll just have to trust me on this statement; the calligraphic skill of Gerrit Noordzij and the improvisational skill of Chopin seem to me just as unattainable as the writing of any great writer, be it Ursula K. LeGuin, Madeline Miller, Osamu Dazai, Jane Austen, Patrick Rothfuss, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Gabriel García Márquez. If the arts allow you to put the same time and attention to understanding twenty-six letters as to using one hundred thousand words, it seems futile to compare the difficulty one craft to another; the learning only ends after one stops practicing or dies.
i wish i could end this with that last sentence because i really like it, but i will back-paddle here a bit to say that i see where your point is coming from. We all wrote school essays and we all speak some language, so it may seem easier to do things with it than to start with a different form of art - but it’s not. In my opinion, this is where that argument ends; it’s not easier or harder, it requires just as much attention as any other domain of the arts or crafts.
whew that was long
@@nuloom i too would like to have 40 hours everyday to practice
As someone who doesn't have a natural talent for anything other than breathing, I don't agree. Worldbuilding is just as hard as poetry and if someone has a natural talent for one, there is for sure someone who has a natural talent for the other.
Gabbie’s publishers and editors CLEARLY kissed her ass for the money grab and told her her book was the literary masterpiece of the century. That’s why she is so darn SHOCKED that anyone could have any criticism of it.
you know how in shows like X factor they lie to contestants that obviously can't sing to boost their ego and then allow them to publicly humiliate themselves by singing so badly that it's physically painful while being so confident that it's borderline delusional? that's what publishers and editors did to gabbie
Art may not be free
But first drafts should not be sold
Like they're finished works
Beautiful.
Better poet than Gabbie
Only criticism is that it's not all in lowercase...
@@sophieprice6190 "how can you criticise my work without understandingthe deeper meaning??/? if you gave it more than a superficial analysis, youd understand thatg its more than just a haiku, its a full-on examination of the human condition, and the tortured soul of I, the aRTISTt!
!!!11!!111!"
Of course I'm kidding. But I guess I'll remove my shift key when it comes time for me to write (and sell) my poetic anthology...
genius
"This book could have been a third of the size. And still a disappointment."
LMFAO
It was a solid roast
at least the rest is useful as a dog bed
I like how she didn’t treat it like a roast, she simply said it and just continued as normal
The shadeeee
it was a bad moment to drink some water
you can
tweet something and
separate the lines
and hope it
becomes a
poem
Oh, oh shit
That hits deep
I enjoyed
That tumblr trip
Thanks for making
Separate lines
Without them it's
Not as fine
Now I've felt like
I read poems
Might skip theatre
Tomorrow
Enough culture
For one time
And now I ran
Out of rhymes.
My AP English teacher always told us “show don’t tell” and those three words improved everything I’ve written ever since.
i feel like if she marketed this as a published diary and put everything as scanned handwritten notes, it would be way more justifiable and interesting
It would make more sense that way. Clearly her poetry is meant to be bought only by her fans, but the point of books and poetry is that you shouldn’t need to be in her circle or know who she is to enjoy or be interested in the work. I would love to see just how much of this was actually touched by an editor and not just publishers who know they can make a quick buck off of her
Yes that would be a interesting idea
Sort of like how Taylor Swift did with her Lover album - she had elected one of her own diary pages to be included in the deluxe editions. Nothing really anything new, a lot of it was song lyrics she had written out but her fans LOVED them.
yeah i agree. that would make more sense
Amen 🙏
I mean, it is not bad, but it is not poetry. If she just branded this as like “shower thoughts” it would have been a fun little coffee table book?
It's not bad????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Low standards I guess
Nikki i mean, they make pretty decent tweets
Emblafant tweets are free
i disagree. this isnt a fun book in any way, its a pity party for gabbie
I got three words for Gabbie: QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. I dont know why Gabbie, who clearly has room for improvement with her poetry, is trying to write a whole poetry BOOK. She’s taking on waaaay too much for where she’s currently at.
If she took the same amount of effort it took her to write a whole poetry book, and just focused that into writing ONE good poem, or maybe FIVE good poems...maybe she’d create something truly valuable.
It takes real insight and courage to be able to say, “You know what, I’m not ready to write this yet,” and only come back to it when you ARE ready.
I’ve recently had this realization over my novel, which is far too big of a project for lil 23 year old me to take on right now. I want to do it justice, and so I’ll wait. The problem here is that Gabbie doesn’t seem to care if it’s good content, just that it sells.
I love the irony that Gabby sent people to hate Rachel but now they're discovering that she has a good channel and Gabby's just on her shit again
Pros of Gabbie going off: I found a cool new TH-camr that really cares about poetry and literature!
Same! It’s funny how much her strategy backfired. I just watched a couple of other videos from Rachel and she seems great!
Yes! Rachel just got a new subscriber. I’m really enjoying her content. Thank you gabbie!!!
Rachel is wonderful and makes great content!!! Ive been watching her videos for a year and shes very consistent in her commentary. I was distressed this morning to see that she was being bullied by Gabbie, but Im glad more ppl can be exposed to her work at least
Yeah Rachel gained me as a new sub thanks to Gabbie's BS. God works in mysterious ways, eh
Same!

"You were supposed to praise me, not critique me!"
-Gabbie, probably
not to be rude but I could make a better poem than gabbie 💀💀 literally ask my English teacher and if she’d ever find out about gabbie Hanna and her work she’d probably disappointed. Literally anyone could make a better poem than gabbie
@@futuristiccat5636 I wrote a "horror story" when I was like 6, I misspelled so many words and it was basically just a list of sentences with no real connection in between, but judging by this book, I could've made millions from it.
I came to watch a narcissistic monster unleash a deluge of abuse against poor Gabbie and found a really thoughtful person who clearly cares a lot about poetry. Sorry that you've been sucked into Gabbie's nonsense. Subscribed.
With what is being said, I was expecting a horrifically mean review attacking Gabbie as a person. I majored in creative writing, with a poetry emphasis. This review is right in line with how we peer reviewed and gave notes.
Yeah I wasn't expecting this. She did great in this review and was very nice and her critique.
To someone unfamiliar with academic critique, I can see how it could be interpreted as “harsh”, but the point is to give honest feedback and tips for improving. Giving someone head pats and no advice on how to improve isn’t what a critique is. Gabbie felt nitpicked and interpreted that as being put down or mocked (tbf people actually did do this to Gabbie a lot around that time, nitpicking every little thing she said or did) and she lost her marbles. But she lost it on someone who was not nitpicking her personal life unfairly, just critiquing her work, and saw them as one and the same.
It's like Gabbie is a 14 year old who's just had her first "deep" thoughts and is amazed by her own wisdom and uniqueness but completely lacks actual experience and skill to develop that first thought any further.
Idk that’s an insult to 14 year olds I have 14 year olds in my class who write a lot better
More like 5 years old and this is mean to kids. She is just self-entitled and delusional.
No way when I was 14 years old I was just starting to learn English and tbh I wrote better tumblr posts in my broken English than Gabbie
@@selina7274 I am sure you aren’t that bad either!
as a 14 year old, can concur. she, in my opinion, is the epitome of pretension and embodies smn u’d typically find from people my age, just in the form of a fully grown woman.
the thing that really gets under my skin re: gabbie's poetry is not that it's bad. everyone is entitled to write bad poetry, and everyone who writes good poetry spent a long time writing bad poetry first. the problem is her arrogance to believe that because she's managed to be monetarily successful in other creative ventures in her life, she can slap random words on a piece of paper and stick it on shelves for $20, and because it'll sell, the work was good. she clearly has no concept of the hours of work a professional poet will put into a single poem, of the years of practice and diligence that go into learning how to write poetry and then learning how to do it better, of how hard *actual* poets have to work to even have one poem published in a magazine or journal, let alone TWO entire collections in b&n and amazon. she thinks her work is publishable because she is a celebrity, and not because she has actual publishable material. if this were something she were taking seriously, she would have an editor or advisor to help her weed out the garbage and foster the poems that might actually be something someday. but this second collection proves that this isn't serious for her, that she's in it for the money, and that she loves playing at being An Artiste and not actually doing the hard, painful, sometimes annoying work of making art.
In my opinion her poetry is kinda bad. It seems as though she doesn't know much about poetry or techniques used in writing poetry. She just writing what comes to her mind and keeps it as her final draft.
@@nehajha8578 but i think that's the problem. if she did that, wrote down whatever came to mind first and never edited, and kept it to herself or shared it with friends or hell even posted it to her insta or yt channel, then that would be fine. but the issue is that she's trying to make money-she *is* making money-off of extremely low-quality work, and she can do that because she's famous, full-stop. if you or i tried to put out the crap she's putting out, publishing companies would laugh in our faces. she is allowed access to a level of success that far more capable writers are denied simply because she's gabbie hanna. she doesn't have to work for anything because she is who she is.
Nailed it. 100%.
@@waltwhitmansbeard oh I 100% agree. That's what I have been saying since her first book came out. It's hard for writers who are far more capable and actually put blood sweat and tears into their work to become established writers specially in today's digital era where alot of people don't read anymore but she becomes a newyork times bestseller for her below average writing.
This is so well put and I completely agree
I heard of this video in one of Chad Chad's. I don't know Gabbie Hanna or her work and while I was watching this video I quickly forgot about her because the things pointed out here, the explanations, the arguments and little pieces of knowledge were simply amazing. I actually feel this urge to read some poetry, which I hope I won't do, but I definitely have to check out more of Rachel's videos. And I want to experiment with the use of rhythm in my emails at work...
I also came from Chad Chad's video, I had literally no idea who either Rachel or Gabbie was before that, but this is the most polite, sincere and delicate review I have EVER seen
From chad chad too! I never thought much about poetry, but this is a great video, I never thought about how important structures is, she was able to explain what felt weird about reading these
when you were explaining how disappointed you were, and you sounded so close to crying, that's a 100% sign that you're not "bullying" her. you genuinely wanted too see her do better, and expressing your absolute disgust at the...waste of her work isnt bullying or harrassment. this gives those vibes when your parents are like "I'm not angry I'm just disappointed".
Genuine
I think what's really interesting watching this video and being vaguely aware of the controversy is that this is actually a video of you sitting down and very thoughtfully analyzing her poetry. As an artist I can definitely understand not enjoying people criticizing the things that you're making, but at the same time this is actually a really thoughtful, detailed, and frankly strong critique of the work that I don't think is at all trying to attack her.
Right? GH's whole reaction is just bizarre, especially considering that so many months have passed since this video.
period. she’s extremely well spoken. gabbie is wildly unhinged
It’s clear Rachel was disappointed because she believes Gabbie can do better. You can’t be disappointed in someone you don’t believe in. It makes me uncomfortable, honestly, the way the story is getting twisted.
I see you everywhere lol from KPop videos to weird drama
love your channel! 💕
I have a low opinion of Gabbie but this really feels like she's just trying to say 'heh look how great this new book is, you were wrong when you criticised me"
Oh absolutely, but she 🦶 🔫
Gabbie is excruciatingly narcissistic, and this is exactly what this was. She’s been openly dismissive of criticisms of her previous work, and she very obviously believes that her art (music too) is groundbreaking and deep as the sea. I doubt she expected Rachel to rip this one to shreds too.
Based on what Jessi Smiles said about her behavior during the course of their friendship, and the weird breakdown she had a few months ago, that's exactly what that was. She's incredibly petty and self-absorbed.
Or like, see I sent you my new materials for free, now you have to be nice and grateful
Or its a clever marketing gimmick. Rachel will trash it as usual, people will feel sorry and buy it out of pity or just to check and see if its really that bad. Either way she gets publicity and some sales.
Rachel : *makes efforts to praise the good stuff from the book, especially the prose and the unreleased lyrics, and points out what has potential*
Gabbie : STOP BULLYING ME
right? this video is not hateful at all, if anything rachel seems to just talk abt poetry in general in this video rather than review this book 😂
You sent her the book to review. Gabbie, *manage your expectations a little bit*
This comment should have more likes.
The saddest thing about this for me is that it's SO hard to get poetry published no matter the talent or dedication of the writer.
Yet Gabbie gets to churn out these lazy, poorly written books and make a ton of money from it because she knows her impressionable young fans will buy anything she puts out.
If only you could like a post a thousand times.
That’s exactly the thing.
Sorry but I don’t like your thought process. This feels like realist painters hating on abstract artists. You do not get to decide who deserves what. I’m sure anyone would do the same for money. Not everything has to have a deeper meaning. It is what it is.
@@meersindi3800 I don't think that was the intent, I think her point wasn't that Gabbie shouldn't get to be a poet. It's that if you are going to get published it should be because your work is good, not just because you have an audience.
@@Incrementium that is still my point too. No one can criticize Gabbie for this because I’m sure she isn’t the one buying her own books. So you can’t say who gets to be published no matter how much heart is put into it. Of course it might suck to other poets but it not her fault and good for her.
It feels like Gabbie did not want to take the constructive criticisms she heard to heart because she felt that they were "too harsh." Really the only thing that improved in this poetry book were her drawings
Are the drawings hers? I don't think so
@@moonbyulswife3990 I believed she's talked about her illustrating her own books before. I could be wrong, though.
Edit: The cover says "written and illustrated by Gabbie Hanna." The art is actually decent, in my opinion, so perhaps that's worth something.
@@ratosphere ok, I just thought i read somewhere that her sister was the author of the art
@@moonbyulswife3990 yes she illustrates her own books which I think is actually pretty cool. However like her poems they aren't really that creative and feel like those drawings that belong on r/im14andthisisdeep :( I do think they look good though she definitely improved
@@moonbyulswife3990 in a patreon q and a video she did last year she referred to one of her sisters as “the one who illustrated my poetry book” and apparently there was a Facebook post, now deleted, from the same sister who was ranting about not getting credit for her illustration work for the first book. And as far as I’ve heard apparently she did give credit to a couple of her sisters in the forward of this book for helping her with illustrations.
Listening to her talk about poetry-
Me, a future English major: write that down- write that down!
Ooh how fun! Hope all goes well in your career journey :)
the fact that she’s spewing about “narcissistic abuse” after THIS very fair and thorough review from a person she SENT HER BOOK IN HOPES SHE’D REVIEW?!? she’s bat shit. and she feels completely justified which is even more wild.
Rachel still trying to fool us with “I’m not a poet BUT......” knowing full well we’d all kill for a video of her original poetry 😂😂
Right? I personally loved the poem she rewrote.

underrated comment lmfao
Me getting insecure because I write poetry like a 14 year old:
Me remembering that I'm a 14 year old:
don’t be insecure tho with experience you’ll get better❤️
The more you read, the better you write. Read with purpose, write bad poetry, burn it, rise, repeat.
Aria Never burn your work. It’s always useful to compare where you used to be. And sometimes you’ll find things you’ll be glad you kept.
you'll keep getting better as long as you keep practicing!
@@Authentically_Aria nah don't burn it. be kinder to your past self who put a lot effort into that writing
This felt less like a GH commentary video and more like an ivy league college level poetry class. I feel like I learned something without intending to lol this was great
What makes me mad is that there are so many talent and passionate writers who don't have the funds or audience to publish a book and then she half-asses it
"cynicism + line breaks =/= poetry" might be the funniest thing I've ever read in my life
as someone who is described as a cyncist, oh my gods gabbie please stop
@Dreamyandmemey 😭😂
@Dreamyandmemey now THIS is poetry
I've been a subscriber of Rachel for about two years now since her "living with depression" video. I watched this video when it first released. After all the controversy, I came back to rewatch it. Rachel is a lovely woman who deeply cares and has a passion for poetry and literature. She does not deserve any of this backlash or hate. She makes quality content and I truly have the utmost respect for her. Be kind, friends. Keep creating the content you do. I adore your work and look forward to every video uploaded. You're an extraordinary woman and I hope for the best for you and your family.
This chick really goes for peoples throats, it’s intense.
"WHICH MEANS THIS BOOK COULD BE A THRID OF ITS CONTENT AND STILL BE A DISAPPOINTMENT"
U are a queen oh my god.
Bruh I'm an english teacher and a student brought up Gabbie Hannah's poetry when I asked "does anyone know any famous poets?" for a poetry introduction class and I wanted to cry like please...
Have you read florence welch's poetry and do you like it?
Yikes 💀
RIP
Omg 😕
To be fair, you said famous, not respected.
She really said
✨I am Pavlov's dog,
Crying is food
and my Toyota is a bell✨
That’s honestly better than what she did say
I’m literally crying deep shit
Except crying is the response to the bell...so it's more like:
I am Pavlov's dog
my Toyota is a bell
tears drool from my eyes
Now it's a haiku 😆
@@refundgame thats actually almost good lol sounds like a haiku apollo would say in percy jackson (theyre supposed to be kinda bad)
This is some boring automatic poetry.
Rachel Oats: Speaks high or Gabbie’s character but criticizes the books and does not really the poems but still compliments many parts of the book while delivering this criticism and is very calm and well spoken the whole time.
Gabbie Hanna: she is a manipulative b1tch who hates me and my writing and my life and my cats and my boyfriend
I cannot believe this is the so called “hate campaign” that gabbie freaked out about online. this is critical work, in that it is constructive criticism. she used her large platform to target a smaller creative and send her incredibly immature fan base to attack someone. this is not okay, and while I have sympathy for her mental health it is not an excuse to attack other people online because they wouldn’t give you a good review
Gabbie’s poetry is basically just the depressed, semi-deep drivel I write in my iPhone notes when I’m kinda drunk or high.
lmfao
😂
High/drunk thoughts feel so profound until you read them sober and you're like wth was I thinking. It's like she smoked a blunt and turned in her paper feeling accomplished
@Benjamin lol people can criticize things dude. Get used to it.
@Benjamin its all chill and good to write drunk poetry for your own enjoyment but it becomes a bit of an issue when you start letting people pay money for it before they read it and expect no one to critique it
Here after Gabbie's rant and I can't believe the said Rachel doesn't know what she's talking about and she won't take critique from someone who isn't a published author 😂 This is such a meticulous and carefully considered review from someone with a clear love and deep understanding of poetry. Get a fucking grip Gabbie.
Not taking critiques yet sends her the book... and freaks out months later wrf
This really makes me think about how she took criticisms from her English teacher giving her pointers. Imagine telling a college admission board that she got the grade she did because they were all narcissistic b*tches and haters
The whole "published author" bit is ridiculous too lmao. Anyone can be a published author. Onision is a published author ffs. That doesn't make what he writes good.
‘Published author’ aka someone with money
Like literally anyone can be a published author too 😂 There’s a difference between shilling out a book & being passionate about the field, spending years dissecting literature & being dedicated to improve your own skills.
That’s like saying you won’t listen to an artist who isn’t well known/not established themselves in the industry but rather listen to someone who is yet doesn’t know jack shit about art fundamentals, how to use them properly nor has a lick of an idea of art history or movements. Dedicated artist working to perfect their skill with on knowledge of their field >>>> someone with a title that’s easy to get or given to them out of nepotism (& privilege)
I really don't care about Gabbie or this book but this review was useful in learning my own writing processes.
Rachel: this isnt a review of gabby or her character, this is a book review :)
Gabby: and I took that personally
The thing is Gabbie does not know the first thing about poetry. It is pretty obvious, from her writing, that she doesn't read poetry either. I think she should take a couple university courses on poetry so she can understand everything that it takes to create poetry. She needs to get rid of the idea of it being shower thoughts that perhaps share a rhyme here and there. It's not really about the length, the topic or the rhymes. You can write a two line poem about an apple and yet it can have hours and hours of thought behind it, taking care of choosing the right sounds, the right words and the right arrangement. She never uses allegories, which I believe is essential. She doesn't give us anything to dig through. Anyway, I love watching your videos and the way you review her poetry because your argument is extremely well-exposed and based on actual poetic theory, not just what you like or dislike.
Yeah I'd love to ask her what her favourite poets/poems are and see her answer/reaction...
@@cuppachar201 Green Eggs and Ham.
@@neutralman9124 Don't throw Dr. Seuss name out like that. People go hard for Green Eggs and Ham. Gabbie wished she had the skill of simplicty.
@@AmuraHiboshi HAHAHA fair point.
What are allegories? English isn't my first language, I'm sure it was mentioned in the video but I don't have the meaning connected to the word yet if you know what I mean
Here because gabbie has decided to throw a tantrum MONTHS later and....it seems maybe she hasn’t healed from any of her past trauma... this was a very well thought out review and I think the only “negativity” stems from Rachel being frustrated that it’s not better when gabbie has had the time to reflect on her previous work and it’s reception and the resources to improve.
For real 😂 she could’ve used all of this dramas as opportunities to do something good too it’s sad
@Allie Foster THIS! If this is the only/first video you view, Rachel can come off a bit harsher than usual. But after all the constructive criticism she gave in the previous videos and her hopes that Gabbie would put more effort in next time, her frustration is much more understandable.
GH definitely feels threatened by other women. Her internal misogyny keeps getting worse & worse as well & her mental health
@@desubysnusnu Personally, I thought the whole Trisha herpes debacle reeked of misogyny.
Also the way gabbie talks it kinda seems like her “trauma” was being dumped over text in a Starbucks
Take a shot everytime Rachel says helluvalot and you still wouldn’t be drunk enough to enjoy Gabbie’s poetry
Lol 🤣🤣
You’d have to be dead of alcohol poisoning to even come CLOSE to enjoying most of her poems
She literally said this isn't a review on gabbie Hannah or her personality... THIS IS A BOOK REVIEW
PITT is so annoying. She could have gone
"Has the sound of my car door
Become Pavlov's bell
Bringing not saliva but tears?"
and called it a day.
wait this is so good
dude i’m writing this down this is great
That is a very good
Literally 100x better than anything Gabbie's written lol
I'd rather pay the same amount for this three line poem than dandelion or adultolecence
I feel like if she’d fleshed out “stories I have to get drunk to tell” and “letters to strangers” that couldve been a fairly interesting book on its own. Instead she used them as a shitty cash grab to encourage her young audience to buy every edition.
False, every version was asked by the companies distributing her books. She only added them when it was requested from her.
@@sophiatroanska1432 Man you guys really believe that bullshit? Name any other book that does this "exclusive content" across stores gimmick. If we took away the unnecessary spaces and drawings, she wrote about 30 pages. I've written essays longer than that for school.

If literature teachers explained things like you I would not have found poetry so confusing
Im not a poet, i draw, but watching this instills a strange sense of wanting to create. Your critique is so well worded! Great video
One of the big rules of writing: Learn the rules so you can break them. You can read when someone accidently breaks the rules and when they do it with purpose.
Exactly! I’m studying video production in college and the same thing applies here. You learn the rules (like rule of thirds), understand those rules, and only after you really get them should you try and break them. Good art is not randomly doing things. If you want to break the rules you have to understand them so you break them for a good creative reason.

Hello Rachel!
iNabber has made a video surrounding this whole Gabbie Hannah thing and I just wanted to come over and send some love.
From what he said you have been dealing with a lot lately because of all this and I hope you are doing alright.
You seem like a very kind person and I'd hate for you to face anything negative thrown your way. So I hope this one comment can make you feel a bit better among all the internet noise.
(Also your dog is absolutely adorable)
Thank you so much :)
As someone who went through 4+ years of art school, this behavior of not being able to listen to criticism--constructive or not--and whining about critics disliking your work is BAFFLING to me.
I suspect Gabbie Hanna's ego hinders her from improving. Is she capable of seeing her own lack of poetic ability/talent?
i think its more her lack of self awareness that comes from being somewhat unhinged. something unknown has fucked her up badly at some point it would seem
you dont need innate talent to be a good poet. it's more about her reluctance to grow as a writer and lack of self awareness
@@neilx1301 that's true. & I find her unwillingness to evolve and improve sooo frustrating
@@JessHessMusic I do not think someone has to have a low opinion of themselves to improve, rather I was trying to say I feel like she is blind to her own weaknesses and thus is missing out on ways she can improve. I could've worded it better
@@JessHessMusic I have neither said I *know* what she thinks of herself (I used words such as suspect & feel) nor have I said anything negative about her promoting her art.
Honestly - why do you question why I care? You must have an idea of why I do care. It's likely the same reason you care. She's a public figure & we therefore are aware of her and her art. We form opinions. We dislike and like. Complain and defend. All very human things.
I also used to be a fan. I have grown frustrated with what I perceive as a lack of insight and self awareness, something which I belive is reflected in her poetry. I feel she is not evolving, and that is frustrating to me. Do you understand better now?
I feel like Gabbie surrounds herself with "yes people" to the point where she doesn't hear any critique at all, even the most constructive criticism
Hence why I try not to live in an echo chamber. My FB feed is FILLED with conflicting opinions, and some I don’t agree with, but I try to see things from their POV or see where I might be wrong.
I don’t think she actually *can* listen to criticism, even if it’s there, her ego is too fragile.
@@AmyAberrant what’s an ego?
I'm still in highschool, but I wanted to say that it's really interesting to hear you break down the different concepts, rules, goals, and/or structures behind the art of poetry. It's always helpful to learn more about the craft one is passionate about, plus you give constructive feedback that can be applied to all who write poetry. It's magical. I use poetry as a way to express what I can't vocalize (especially for mental health issues), so it's probably not fantastic, but it's cathartic and I love writing it nonetheless. I'm probably going to watch more of your content, so I can reflect and improve on my own writing. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
I am typically not one to consume poetry, but I genuinely enjoyed the "Love After Love" poem. If anything, I'm glad you introduced something new to me that I enjoyed.
WORD
I had goosebumps hearing the last line
when my best friend was 8 she wrote a poem that had the line "I was a lamp unplugged, powerless" and Gabby's poems give off that same enegry
Hahahaha nooooo that was bars
No wait I wanna know more about this poem than any of Gabbie's poetry 😂
this is way better, Gabbie wishes she could write that good
That is deep! Emotional!
That is actually genius in it’s simplicity. Richard Ayoade had a similar joke in Garth Marenghei’s Darkplace, “In the end, she was like a candle in the wind…. Useless.”
I can’t imagine how hard it is for Gabbie to hear this stuff but...she should’ve heard it from her editor first. Clearly those around her are yes-men trying to get more money out of her audience without a care for quality. If she wanted to put out good work, she could, but she clearly just wants to write and do as she likes without being told any valid criticism of it. Props to you Rachel for always being honest and coming from a place of care for your craft.
She knows that she can make money from a book of brain farts, so that's what she does.
FUCKING PREACH
@Alyssa Rowe you’ve read these poems and you think a single person around her is giving her constructive criticism?
@Alyssa Rowe did you not read the poems
This is actually a really good point. You can’t develop your work if the people around you who are paid to help you do it are scared to criticise you.

RIP all the trees that died for this publication
The rainforest: "I didn't die for this"
It’s actually interesting that you bring up how much Gabbie tells instead of shows, because it reminds me of how in my Poetry Workshop class last semester we did an exercise that involves taking weak lines (things like “she was sad”) and making them stronger. I feel like Gabbie could really use that.
How do you make "she was sad" stronger? I want to know it now ;-;
@@britneyspearsstan You stretch it out pretty much, use literary devices to show how the person is sad rather than just saying they’re sad. When I did the exercise I changed “she felt very sad” to “the sadness enveloped her like a blanket of spikes.” Not the most genius way to change it but there’s more there than there was before.
When you leave a line at “she felt sad” you’re basically telling the reader that there’s nothing else to be inferred, which you don’t really want for a poem. While not all poetry has to be super deep, you still want something to be there.
@@TheSegaKoolaid Goes for any writing tbh. "A tear trickled down her cheek and her heart felt like a gaping hole" has much better ring than "she felt sad"
THIS! My poetry improved so much the moment i realized, you should never say how you feel. You need to show it, you need the reader to feel it, if you need to name the emotion yourself for the reader to understand, you failed as a poet
Or perhaps Gabbie's book of poetry could be a teaching tool exactly like that. Purchase the book and then expand on the ideas to make more subtle, imagery driven poetry. A student exercise. Why does everything have to be so negative when someone creates something - imagine if we said to her hey Gabbie, I wasn't super keen on your poetry but I think it could be a great teaching tool for different kinds of poetry! Did you know you had this hidden talent? Instead of shitting all over her and just saying hey mate this is a pile of stink and no-one should bother reading it.
i wish gabbie would go through your videos and respond to them piece by piece and point where exactly you’re “bullying” and when you say something that “you don’t know what you’re talking about” either she hasn’t truly watched these videos or she has selective hearing
I finally understand why my teenage poetry is so embarassing.
Imagine if Gabbie Hanna wrote a 3rd poetry book which is actually good and has real poems w/ good poetic technique, but titles it “a series of Instagram captions / tumbler posts” just to troll her 2 previous books😂
That would mean she'd have to be self aware to do that and we all know...
“Stories I have to get drunk to tell” is a raw title, I’d buy a memoir with that name
Same, though it wouldn't be Gabbie's
I think it sounds too cringe but maybe that’s just bc Gabbie wrote it
One of my favorite authors, Jen Lancaster, actually wrote a memoir called “Stories I’d Tell In Bars” that she self-published and it ended up topping some amazon book charts for a short while during the time Gabbie was writing her book, so given Gabbie’s plagiarism track record I’m really side-eying her here. I’m not saying she definitively stole the title and “tweaked it”, but I also wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
i can totally see where hearing “you’re not a good poet try something else” could be harsh, but this books comes YEARS after the critiques of her first book. she made no effort to change, improve, or better her work at all. why would Rachel spend anytime placing false niceties within her review, when it’s the SAME book as last time? of course gabbie should do what she loves, but as a published author she has some accountability placed onto her to be a good author. she should be able to take critiques into account to make her art better. she isn’t just posting videos to her subscribers anymore, she’s creating published works for the world to see. if she wants to be respected, she needs to do better.
Gabbie is selling her art as a product. Product reviews are for the customers. Rachel gave what equates to an in depth Amazon review. Most sellers reach out to the negative reviewers and want to make things right. Gabbie blasted Rachel bc she was butthurt about an incredibly educated product review. It’s like watching business owners fight with reasonably dissatisfied customers on Facebook and Yelp
1. I love your dog!
2. This is the most thoughtful and in depth review I've ever seen.
3. Coming from someone that is very inexperienced with poetry, I truly appreciate how you explained everything and gave examples. Very helpful.

love LOVE the way you critique this. have seen a number of other videos dissecting this book which mainly just read the worst lazy poems and laugh - funny but not nearly at the level of reasoned and evidenced criticism as you’ve done here. amazing how watching a video about bad poems has reminded me why i love poetry so much!

@@adinap4124 The problem is that she thinks anything can be a poem if you just through a few line breaks in
@@theladynim2 I agree. That's a huge problem she has. She sometimes writes a thought that a lot of people have on a daily basis and then puts random like breaks and calls it a poem. I think she could expand on the thoughts she has to create something with more depth.

I agree. I think if she wanted constructive criticism she would have sent her work to people like Rachel beforehand to really make it the best it could be, not after it was published.
@@gyongyitakacs6700 i think Rachel is smart enough to see that this type of video would give her more publicity, Gabbie isn’t playing anyone

I also think that maybe she sent it to her bc she thought if she did, maybe rachel would be nicer to her but..... rachel is honest
I thought her books were purposely bad I had no idea those are her genuine attempts at poetry.
Honestly, Gabbie should be paying you for all this feedback. What a thoughtful review.
