“how is it so easy for you
to be kind to people he asked
milk and honey dripped
from my lips as i answered
cause people have not
been kind to me”
— Rupi Kaur
In August, we’ll be exploring #InstaPoetry, of which @rupikaur_ is perhaps the most famous writer.
InstaPoetry is an emerging style of poetry, written primarily to be consumed on social media. It tends to be short, pithy, and responsive to the moment or modern concerns.
If you have a favourite #InstaPoet, or if you’d just like to find out more about this form, please join us on Thursday 28th August at @thebridgehotelvaults in Sunderland (opposite @poprecs) from 7pm. The event is free and we’d love to see you there!
