Olivia Gatwood - "Ode to the Women on Long Island" @WANPOETRY

[@teagannam]

I love how she writes such incredible poems about groups who’re usually made fun of and disrespected (like long island women, and teenage girls). she boldly takes away the punchline. it’s so unflinching and powerful and vulnerable... it’s one of my favorite things slam poetry can do and she does it so, so well.

I adore this with my entire being

Ohh I usually listen to her other version of this poem but I love this one so much more. Just the way she talks and the couple extra lines here n there.

Ohhhh this is a different version, I thought I was going insane.

This was so good!!!

[@marciamcdevitt964]

Surprised that people like this version more than the other one. I’ve watched the other one a thousand times, and as someone who grew up on Long Island, the whole vibe and the accent is WAAAAY more accurate in the other version. In this one, there are just too many places where she goes in and out of the accent. This one is also way too peppy and upbeat for the subject matter. The other version, to me, is brilliant and accurate, one of my favorite things ever.
