Richard Siken continues to kill it on twitter. He just explained why his poetry is so popular in tumblr graphics - "you can take any of my quotes and apply them to any fandom or picture and they will work because they are sad and mopey and full of longing" and then proceeded to demonstrate this. With cat pictures. With lines of his poetry slightly altered to be lol cat speak.

(from his twitter thread here)

People are doing their own versions in response and he is complimenting them.

fragmentation of poetry

here, i want to argue a point. just follow on with this if you’re interested. 

1. first read this fragment of a poem. 

2. what are your thoughts on it? how does it make you feel? what do you think it’s about? do you relate to the emotions of it? 

3. think on those questions a second. 

3. yes i sound like an english lit teacher but bear with me please. 

4. then read the full poem (below the cut) 

Keep reading

can i just say that this growing trend of posts that compile quotes/artwork that are related in topic matter, is so so glorious. i love the mismatched font styles of the screenshots, i love how art in general, over various mediums, gravitates towards certain themes and i don’t know how to word this but i love seeing the impact of the personality/style of different artists on those themes… like having light shone on something and depending on ur position it looks different, is similar to the way different artists/writers/etc’s work hits u slightly differently even when talking about the same thing… does that make sense idk but like it’s a clear representation of how there’ll never be ‘enough’ art or ‘too much’ art and that’s so. wonderful i think

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also
