Not entirely related, but at one point when she's talking about Real Estate, Rachel describes the words "wanted" and "haunted" as half rhymes which I find fascinating because in my accent, they're perfect rhymes. Neither is wrong, but that genuinely got me thinking about how even among native speakers of a language, how regional accents, dialects and slang can completely change the reading and rhythm of a poem. I wonder how many poets wrote perfect rhymes for their native accent, but got criticized for "lazy, forced rhymes" by someone who simply pronounces the words differently. Or how nuance could be gained or lost in something as basic as how many syllables are given to a word (ex, aluminum with 4 syllables or 5). I think that might be fascinating to look into.

Yeah it's crazy, one of my English teachers was Irish and she described the rhymes 'Hour and Power' as half rhymes, but to us it was just a full rhyme LOL She pronounced it like 'Ar' and 'Paur' rather than 'Ow-er' and ' Pow-er'

"i do not like the feeling" was one of my favourite poems when i was younger - it really evoked, for me, the feeling of pining after someone, and the heartache that comes with caring for someone who doesn't return the feeling/who you can't be with for whatever reason.

As a person who has been doing her "escapril" Instagram challenge for the 3 years it has been going on (and planning to do the same this year) and just bought her notebook, I am very interested in this video. I don't read her poetry, but just the thought and time she puts into the challenge tells me she cares and loves poetry, because she gains nothing from the challenge and she shares other people's work in it. So by that logic, she's not "just another KZbinr poet". In fact I didn't know she did KZbin, I thought she was a poet with an Instagram.

I just wanted to say that your videos will be welcomed for me and everyone who is here for your content and you, and if you worry about making mistakes ( so am I) , keep in mind that you're attitude towards them matters most, because we are all humans we all are flawed, but at least for my perception, you seem like a person who cares deeply and its willing to learn and grow.

I studied English Literature here in the United States! It's a tough degree to get, but it's worth it. If employers can't seem to grasp what you gain from such a degree (because in the hellhole we live in if it's not STEM it's "worthless") talk about how amazingly honed your communication skills are. You're able to create and edit company documents of all stripes, from client emails to training manuals and more. But beyond the written word you'll be able to research and present complex data sets with relative ease, which is especially great in creating an onboarding program for new hires or developing professional development seminars and courses. Have a great time in university!!!

Dear Rachel, I just want to tell you that I am in absolute love with your poetry videos. I started studying literature last year because of you, because you ARE smart and you DO understand poetry (i know you know this but i’ll say it anyway). I’ve struggled with mental illness for years now and once i started studying at university it was really hard for me to read everything I was supposed to and I ended up not attending very many lectures. But! I have watched and rewatched your videos so much that I was actually able to get a B on my first exam, which was, in fact, a poetry analysis. I honestly didn’t have a clue about poems before you and now I’m able to analyze them fairly well according to my uni! So seriously thank you so much❤️

Man, i used to follow Savannah on here - her videos were definitely a huge impetus for me to think more critically about my own poetry; she was always so gracious to criticism in the comments. I definitely remember one person being particularly focused on the rambly way she wrote, and it really encouraged me to practice writing more succinct poetry. I really liked Savannah's poetry cause, at the time, my style was similar, and i saw it as a grest opportunity to take in the relfections that she herself expressed. I definitely think that her struggle with rambling poetry was similar to mine, in that i'd just write more and more trying to adequately express an idea, and then proceeding to get lost in the sauce lol. Its a nice surprise to see you make a video on her!

Good review. I haven't read her poetry before but as you show, it's really well put together! Whenever I write poetry and while I go in to depth, I always naturally include rhyming. Is this an amateurish move? I think I should move on to writing poetry that is 'poetic' without using rhymes as appears to be the case in any of the more professional poetry I've read.

I definitely don't think it's an amateurish move to include rhymes in your poetry. Most (if not all?) of the Elizabethan and Romantic poems that I have read have a certain sense of rhyme and structure to them. Of course this tradition is not as strictly followed today as it maybe was a few centuries ago, but in my opinion (and in my experience) rhyming poetry is not at all considered less poetic.

Good to see your face light up again as you excitedly discuss poetry again. Its funny tho, the comments that body slammed you came from a person who tries waaaayyy to hard to appear like a tortured artist, but you literally are one...because of her! Thanks to she-who-shall-not-be-named, you exude that energy naturally and I find this ironic.

This sounds like envy, when one desires to be or have what another has, they may feel inferior, and make themselves feel superior by making themselves seem like they have contempt for the one they envy. It’s a tough part of human nature to navigate within and without.

because of how beautifully you talked about nature imagery vis a vis the human body, I have a band recommendation for you: the amazing devil. they're an indie folk band, and they're incredible lyricists - their songs are poems in and of themselves. example: "And these lines aren't wrinkles, dear heart / They're just dollops of paint on a new work of art" or "Your eyes aren't rivers there to weep / But a place for crows to rest their feet"

amazing analysis, i've been curious to know what more people think of her works. I think I can relate to her a lot being autistic and having so many existential thoughts that i find hard to put into the right words

Strange... this young lady is my favorite poet. Not any classic writer from old. Love how her poetry draws you into her world. I think even Charles Bukowski would be proud of her.

Great vid. I always wondered about the internet poets. Still waiting for that one to define the eon. i.e like Keats or Ducasse... Amazing the fame and attention that is generated by the cult of YT, insta and tik tok.

I'm suprised to see a positive review; after reading so many YT video titles lately I've come to expect a negative one. No comment on the poetry, I have zero knowledge or interest in it.

Glad to see you back on poetry~♥ But also with a poetry book you actually enjoyed (and I may have giggled a little on the she-who-will-not-be-named, I mean I realise it was quite a horrid chapter honestly, but the outlook of treating her as a child throwing a fit/temper tantrum, and should therefore no longer receive any attention, is amusing, and feels accurate)
