Some people succeed through talent, some people succeed because people previously spared their feelings way too much.
Honestly, shay, lots of people write better poetry than that but early in life someone noticing that they weren't black or female or poor, weren't afraid to tell them the truth about their "art". Tell me if you were to get up on that same stage and recited that same poem, complete with the ostentatious hand movements, the crowd wouldn't be laughing and yelling how much of a fucking idiotic tool you are.
I don't mind that Ms Gorman wants to write poetry be it irks me when people ie libs because of the need to elevate certain types of people fawn all over something that's average at best.
