e perception of poetry
in modern society is that this
literary form fell off sometime
aer the 19th century. But
the truth is, poetry is just as
prominent now as it was back
then. It may not bare the same
rhyme scheme or rhythmic
structure of Wordsworth,
and poets themselves don't
resemble the age, race or class
of their popular predecessors;
but RUPI KAUR, a 25-year-
old Punjabi-Canadian woman,
has been able to do what no
one else has done before her—
become a poetry phenomenon.
