"Who gets to be the hero of an epic or the protagonist of a tragedy, and who is relegated to the margins of human history?” Priyamvada Gopal on two vessels in distress.

someone should have already told you that
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love."

Deep Dive:
I found a few of these aforementioned facts...
So #Kaur was accused of #plagiarism (or mimicry?) by #Waheed who also may have copied Warsan Shire. More interesting is the discussion in the 1st link about a distinction between Kaur as an "#instapoet" and #WarsanShire as a professional #poet. Lots of issues at play, including increased scrutiny on #WOC.

So now i read about #WarsanShire. Someone on Tumblr thinks #NayyriahWaheed mimicked Warsan Shire and that #RupiKaur isn't better or worse. So maybe it isn't #plagiarism? Maybe people are just doing a normal critique of #poetry? I really don't know!
