so there is a guy named Collin Yost that posts his verses on Instagram and recently published a book with his poems. some of the verses were awful, some were alright, nothing new under the sun.
but a woman (an artist and writer, i think) tweeted some of his poems, mocking him for his writing. it went viral (as we can see here https://electricliterature.com/this...feel-much-better-about-your-work-c252a0faf4d9 and here http://www.wweek.com/arts/books/2017/08/29/everybody-hates-portlands-cigarette-bro-poet/ and here http://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2017/08/portland_mans_cigarette-themed.html).
later, his instagram page got a lot of comments about how lame he was, and his book got some hard reviews over the last 3 days, by users who didn't bought the book.
anyway, he was doing his thing, writing his shit, I really don't see the point of so many cheap shots on him - and I never heard about this guy until today.
a quote from one of the articles: "You keep on doing you, Charles Brokowski! Aspiring poets everywhere need an inoculation against impostor syndrome."
I would like to hear some thoughts from you guys.
