“From Rupi Kaur, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry. A vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing. Ancestry and honoring one’s roots. Expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself.”
mini review
I think Rupi Kaur is a great person and I’ve seen her art on Tumblr before Milk & Honey came out so obviously, I end up reading her poetry. I was not a fan of Milk & Honey at all. I don’t know if it was the hype or I just genuinely hated it but I didn’t like it. You’d think I wouldn’t read her second poetry book because of this but nah, I read it anyway. I read them in one sitting so why not?
I have to admit, I enjoyed this one a bit more. I still can’t wrap my head around her type of “poetry” because it doesn’t make me really think or feel anything? There’s a few that I bookmarked but other than that, it was a pretty average poetry book. I wouldn’t buy a physical copy. The art was kind of bad, too?? I don’t know if that’s because it was on the kindle but it was laughable. A long with some of the poems in there. I would’ve given it 4 stars if it weren’t for some of the dumb poems I came across. #rip
