I have definitely heard about it a lot, and saw it for the first time. I don't see any metaphor there!!! I thought Rupi Kaur was supposed to be a poet/poetess.
i had a friend who used to hate poetry, which i took as a challenge to change this by sharing lots of of my favorites and a year later she both reads and writes a ton of it of her own free will
mahmoud darwich is such a talented poet my favorite poem of his is to my mother because of the double interpretation with the literal meaning being a letter to his mom and the more metaphorical meaning being a letter to his country (or motherland) i remember crying reading it for the first time
Tortured Poets Department? No, this elevator goes to the Tortured Readers Department where we listen to Jack (Head Kamala Lebu/Orange) talk about -sappy- reflective books and then we cry over how cute he is.
If you want to read some translated poetry, let me recommend the brilliant Polish poet Wisława Szymborska. She won Nobel Prize in Literature back in 1996. Her writing is funny/poignant/philosophical and so so so gorgeous.
poets/ collections mentioned: • bless the daughter raised by the voice in her head • mary oliver • heritage aesthetics • mahmoud darwish • ocean vuong - time is a mother/ night sky with exit wounds • jason adam peson(?) self portrait as othello • fariha roish - survival takes a wild imagination • dakota warren - on sun swallowing !!! (i might have missed a few, tell me if i did)
3:12 Bless the daughter raised by a voice in her head - Warsan Shire 6:15 Haruko Love Poems - June Jordan 8:44 Serious Concerns - Wendy Cope, The Orange - Wendy Cope 11:04 A Thousand Mornings - Mary Oliver 13:18 Bright Fear - Mary Jean Chan 17:45 Bad Diaspora Poems - Momtaza Mehri 22:06 A River Dies of Thirst - Mahmoud Darwish 24:42 Time is a mother- Ocean Vuong, Night sky with exit wounds - Ocean Vuong 27:01 Self-portrait as Othello - Jason Allen-Paisant 28:55 Survival takes a wild imagination - Fariha Róisín 29:50 On Sun Swallowing - Dakota Warren
JACK THE WAY I SCREAMED i have the same exact orange keychain for the same exact reason!! the tangerine/orange peel theory has my whole entire heart it just makes me feel so warm and whole inside
jack i NEED you to read boygenius' favourite books if you plan on doing more music-related book videos, they have the BEST book taste and lucy dacus has a public goodreads that's so good
@@roccozenarola06 i would just look up 'boygenius books'!! there's a ton of lists that are compilations of everything they've ever recommended in different publications with little summaries of what they said :)
norton anthologies my BELOVED!! their making of a sonnet book and all of their critical editions made me the lit student i am today fr - they give you ALL of the contexts for what you're reading, so you never feel like you're missing the joke or that you have to do stacks of background reading just to understand a bit of wordsworth.
I am waiting for TTPD more than anything. Poetry, nowadays, is like an escape from the daily burden of life. Tortured as humans we are, nothing can speak volumes like those few lines in a page. Thanks for giving us this, you know, you are the best person to recommend poetry!
I need to add some to this list!!! Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz, Your Emergency Contact Has Experienced an Emergency by Chen Chen, What the Soul Doesn't Want by Lorna Crozier, Content Warning: Everything by Akwaeke Emezi. All absolutely gorgeous, heart-wrenching, and a testament to what modern poetry is (and can be). Sincerely, a poet devastated by the lack of poetry literacy today.
love this video!! if i can rec some other favorites (to you and anyone reading this): - The Carrying by Ada Limón - Monument: Poems New and Selected by Natasha Trethewey - Sympathetic Little Monster by Cameron Awkward-Rich - Bluets by Maggie Nelson
Thank you for giving me so many more poetry books to add to my TBR! I don't get enough poetry recs. I'm so glad you mentioned Mary Oliver. She's one of my faves. I'd also recommend Joy Harjo. She's an indigenous American poet, which features prominently in her work. Her poems are beautiful, heart-wrenching, and so touching. Everything we love in a good poem. Also, Louise Gluck is amazing. Idk if she can still be considered modern, but she was still quite relevant as of 10 years ago. I honestly feel like you haven't lived until you've read a poem or two by her.
How exciting -- I have many poetry books to check out. Love Mary Oliver, too. Her book "A Poetry Handbook" is a wonderful resource for budding poets, too. I will make a video on that in the near future.
There's this poetry collection called "The Pavement Flower and Other Poems" by Rashi Bhanot It's one of the best modern poetry which draws inspiration from nature that I've read recently Highly recommend it!
Every time I click on one of your videos, I open my notion 'books' page and get ready to add to my 'tbr' list. Honestly, at this point, half of it is just based on your recs.
Believe me or not, I literally was thinking about TTPD and then right after all of a sudden was thinking of your account and looked it up and this is what I see
Year of the tortured poets? Ans I thought I couldn't possibly love your content more. My Poetry TBR just grew again. Thank you for brightening up our lives like a full moon on a starless night. ❤
dont have much knowledge on poetry, but i do quite enjoy them every once in a while. idk if Richard Siken's works would count as modern poetry?? but they're some of, if not the absolute favorites of mine
my favourite poet is richard siken. i love the way he writes and its so interesting hearing his perspective and what he thinks. im so interested in both his craft and his thoughts. his poems all really resonate with me and i think he's a great writer! i love how his poems can both be extremely clear in the message and the things he tells you while others are more abstract, and i love how much thought is put into every line he writes. i love poetry for all the interpretations that exist and the way you can find meaning in it, and i find it so easy to do that with him and his writing
also speaking of wendy cope, 'the orange' is one of my favourite poems too. the line "i love you. im glad i exist." is one of the ones that always stuck with me because i think so often, you see that people are glad that other people exist and that they're in their life -- but in that poem, they're happy that they themself are alive because of all the good things that exist in the world. it means so much more that way, and it makes me feel so strongly about being alive myself. its such a beautiful thing to love the world and the people around you so much that you want to live and it's the one thing that keeps me going when nothing else does.
Some more unsolicited recommendations from someone who reads a lot of poetry! -Soft Science by Frank Choi (2019) [incredibly unique voice with so much meaty language and attention to sound and image] -alphabet by Inger Christensen, translated by Susanna Neid (1981) [one of my absolute favorite books of all time, rich and vivid language, an utter gut punch of a book. I will never shut up about this book] -Hard Damage by Aria Aber (2019) [she's a great storyteller and has a knack for subtle unexpectedness in language that makes her writing feel so fresh and engaging] -A Bernadette Mayer Reader (published by new directions, but also any of her books are a good bet) [Mayer's writing is what I like to describe as accessibly experimental, she has such an engaging way of unpacking the day to day of life with fresh eyes] -When My Brother was an Aztec by Natalie Diaz (2012) [I think this is a great book for getting into poetry because Diaz is incredibly accessible while also having rich language and imagery and storytelling]
Im not sure if you have a video like this or not but id love a video on how to read poetry on your own and get the most out of it. In english classes when I’m forced to spend extra time with a poem, and share analyses and hear lectures I get so much out of poems, but I find it hard to do so on my own.
i just LOVE how both you & i were determined to read more poetry in 2024 even before taylor announced TTPD!! i remember you talking in your videos about books you wanna read this year how you were planning on reading more poetry cause you’re writing a novel and all. in december 2023, i also decided to read more poetry in 2024 cause i’m really into “music as literature” and poetry seems to be the connection. anyways, THANK YOU for this video cause i’ve been struggling to find modern poets that aren’t cringe to me 🙈 i’ve read a lot of romantic poetry in school & attempted to read chaucer (I HATE IT) and milton cause i had too, but honestly i’m into poetry that is more robust & plays with imagery, symbolism, metaphors, structure & so on. im still at 4:24 but im already in love with “bless the moon.” so yeah! THANK YOU
YESSS THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO WATCH!! TAYLOR AND BOOKS!! Also, my recommendation is Victims of a Map by Mahmoud Darwish, Adonis and Samih Al-Qasim. It is a bilingual anthology of Arabic poetry and all of the poetries in the book are written so beautifully I just finished reading it a week ago. It also includes a short biography the author’s. Highly recommend
13:15 "The you as a child is the blueprint for the rest of your life." Mary Jean Chan, Bright Fear. "Its a framework you are expected to follow." I want to keep a note of this as it reminds me of the writings of thich nhat hanh about the inter-being. I would also like to check out Ocean Vuong 24:41. Wendy's poem on The Orange may perhaps fit into my website which starts out based on orange, yellow, tan, gold shades. I'll have to keep that in mind and maybe look into her other stuff.
Thank you. I needed that. Poetry is so emotionally healing. I saw Wendy Cope in London in the 1980s. Ted Hughes, Simon Armitage and Glynn Maxwell were also there. When Ted Hughes was reading, one of the speakers started crackling. He stopped and looked up at it. I thought it must be the timbre of his voice. Didn’t happen to the other poets.
one of my favorite modern poets is chen chen and hanif abdurraqib. i would also recommend the anthology "queer poets of color". introduced me to so many wonderful poets.
The poem you read called Home reminds me of a book called Before We Were Free by Julia Alvarez. I read it in January and it’s really been sticking with me. I rated it 5 stars. Hope you get the chance to love it like I do.
I am reading Franny Choi’s Soft Science now and it’s doing a strange magic to my brain. I want to read all of her poetry now. Another book I am really wanting to read: The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón.
I love the poem ‘daily bread’ in the night sky with exit wounds…especially the parts ‘the year is gone. I know nothing of my country. I write things down. I build a lift & tear it apart & the sun keeps shining’…’how could I have known, that by pressing this pen to paper, I was touching us back from extinction?’ gorgeous
a poetry anthology recommendation: "Teething" by Megha Rao "..Teething follows the character of an older sister, who finds her brother's suicide note many years after his death, which forces her to confront her past and take a closer look at the family that she grew up in." lots of trigger warnings in this one, with homophobia, r*pe, abuse, grief, dysfunctional family dynamics etc. but truly truly powerful words. one of my favourite anthologies ever

Same sis ❤
mine too 😭
I was NOT prepared to see that Rupi Kaur-clip again 😅
Cringe
The rupi kaur jumpscare attacks again
I have definitely heard about it a lot, and saw it for the first time. I don't see any metaphor there!!! I thought Rupi Kaur was supposed to be a poet/poetess.
Rupi kaur core
taylor and jack summoning all the tortured poets and literary overanalyzers 📈📈
1:45 The clips Jack referenced for ‘modern poets’ HAD ME DYING 😂
Taylor, books AND Jack? You are feeding my TH-cam algorithm with this video❤
i had a friend who used to hate poetry, which i took as a challenge to change this by sharing lots of of my favorites and a year later she both reads and writes a ton of it of her own free will
As an arab girl. If you haven’t read poetry in Arabic you haven’t read poetry at all. It hits different
I have read about Sufi poets and they said to have one of the most beautifully written poetry, I hope to learn arabic someday.
Im not at this level, but hopefully someday I will
mahmoud darwich is such a talented poet my favorite poem of his is to my mother because of the double interpretation with the literal meaning being a letter to his mom and the more metaphorical meaning being a letter to his country (or motherland) i remember crying reading it for the first time
I've been reading Mahmoud darwish lately, Thank you for the rec 🫶🏻
Tortured Poets Department? No, this elevator goes to the Tortured Readers Department where we listen to Jack (Head Kamala Lebu/Orange) talk about -sappy- reflective books and then we cry over how cute he is.
kamala lebu?
@@shadow-1000 It’s the Bengali word for ‘Orange’. If you’re asking about the real reason I chose it, Jack mentions it
I haven't watched the video yet and as a Bengali I was shocked to see the word kamala lebu bahahjaja

Jack we need this but with prose-style novels like on earth we’re briefly gorgeous
Actually we need a novel I would recommend for this poet / poetry book video 👀 or vice versa

Jack… this is iconic… help! (make a poets-list pre 1960s/Taylors fave pleaseeee)
Discovered “home” in one of my literature poetry anthologies when i was 13, and that poem was what made me fall in love with the written word
Currently writing an analysis on the "Dead Poets Society". This is simply brilliant timing ☺.
Some more unsolicited recommendations from someone who reads a lot of poetry!
-Soft Science by Frank Choi (2019) [incredibly unique voice with so much meaty language and attention to sound and image]
-alphabet by Inger Christensen, translated by Susanna Neid (1981) [one of my absolute favorite books of all time, rich and vivid language, an utter gut punch of a book. I will never shut up about this book]
-Hard Damage by Aria Aber (2019) [she's a great storyteller and has a knack for subtle unexpectedness in language that makes her writing feel so fresh and engaging]
-A Bernadette Mayer Reader (published by new directions, but also any of her books are a good bet) [Mayer's writing is what I like to describe as accessibly experimental, she has such an engaging way of unpacking the day to day of life with fresh eyes]
-When My Brother was an Aztec by Natalie Diaz (2012) [I think this is a great book for getting into poetry because Diaz is incredibly accessible while also having rich language and imagery and storytelling]
Franny Choi and Natalie Diaz!!! truly incredible voices of the modern day
29:17 - ''It is about generational trauma'' ME: ADDS TO CART IMMEDIATELY

Thanks a lot! please talk more about poetry, it really is your cup of tea (and mine as well). Greetings from Italy!
THE FUNNIEST IS THE MOMENT IS SAW THE ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT I WASSSS LIKEEEE YEAPPPP JACKKK 🤣😂🤣 NOTHING ELSE JUST ONE WORD JACK 🤣😂🤣🤣
reading the poems seriously over that track is funny
I've been waiting for a modern poetry rec from you 🤩
13:15 "The you as a child is the blueprint for the rest of your life." Mary Jean Chan, Bright Fear. "Its a framework you are expected to follow."
I want to keep a note of this as it reminds me of the writings of thich nhat hanh about the inter-being.

I just want to recommend my favorite poetry collection: Crush by Richard Siken
I mean combine poetry taylor swift and books and you will have me so so excited
Thank you for making a video about poetry!
I needed this! Thank you so much for the recommendations, I will definitely read so many of these ☺️
This is such a lovely video!!
jack i think you would love amir khusrao and gulzaar
Taylor + Jack = books = my whole personality
its funny, in spanish the phrase "mi media naranja" (my half of an orange) means my soulmate 🍊🍊
In Portuguese as a well.
U made me poetry fan by ths video now have to buy all these😍
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass not being on this list is criminal
This is great because I’ve always loved poetry but never know any poet in particular
This video is pure perfection.
Not the bestie shoutout at the end 😭
Thank you. I needed that. Poetry is so emotionally healing.
I saw Wendy Cope in London in the 1980s. Ted Hughes, Simon Armitage and Glynn Maxwell were also there.
When Ted Hughes was reading, one of the speakers started crackling. He stopped and looked up at it. I thought it must be the timbre of his voice. Didn’t happen to the other poets.
Crackling?
@@EmyNI meant the light was making a buzzing sound.
I don't like poetry but love to hear you read ❤😊
one of my favorite modern poets is chen chen and hanif abdurraqib. i would also recommend the anthology "queer poets of color". introduced me to so many wonderful poets.
The poem you read called Home reminds me of a book called Before We Were Free by Julia Alvarez. I read it in January and it’s really been sticking with me. I rated it 5 stars. Hope you get the chance to love it like I do.
Jack, I thought you loved us, why do you subject us to that Rupi Kaur clip again? 😭
I am reading Franny Choi’s Soft Science now and it’s doing a strange magic to my brain. I want to read all of her poetry now.
Another book I am really wanting to read: The Hurting Kind by Ada Limón.
These video is made for me thankyou!!
Thank you for the readings. Excellent.
I'm looking forward to It, but also I feel bad for Joe... So I hope the songs are about literary characters like folklore. We'll see
Am I the only one who gets soooo distracted by the background music?? Love all your videos Jack but this is giving Animal Crossing poetry 🙃
I saw the thumbnail and clicked faster than the speed of light
I love the poem ‘daily bread’ in the night sky with exit wounds…especially the parts ‘the year is gone. I know nothing of my country. I write things down. I build a lift & tear it apart & the sun keeps shining’…’how could I have known, that by pressing this pen to paper, I was touching us back from extinction?’ gorgeous
a poetry anthology recommendation: "Teething" by Megha Rao
"..Teething follows the character of an older sister, who finds her brother's suicide note many years after his death, which forces her to confront her past and take a closer look at the family that she grew up in."
lots of trigger warnings in this one, with homophobia, r*pe, abuse, grief, dysfunctional family dynamics etc. but truly truly powerful words. one of my favourite anthologies ever
‘there are girls like lions’ is a fantastic poetry anthology centered around the female experience and definitely worth a read
I’m like halfway through and I gotta say I had to stop because “home is where you don’t have to explain yourself” fucking broke me man
taylor swift and sally rooney coming for us
Yes, Jack! Embrace the Tortured Poets Department and teach us all about it!
i think you should try Zoetry Juice, it has poets from almost like all over the world
YES!!! as a die hard poetry lover, im so ready for everyone to enter their POETRY ERA 🤌🤌 highly recommended Lang Leav and Lana Del Rey’s collections
Please please please read, Andrea Gibson's poetry, you will love it Jack
Call me ignorant but I don't understand the type of postmodernist poetry that doesn't rhyme. At this point it's basically beautiful phrases.
Me watching this video: I’m about to re-enter my poetry era
