“At age 24, Rupi Kaur has been called the voice of her generation.” (USA Today)“Rupi Kaur has vision beyond her years … Her work is simply but powerfully expressed, and viscerally captures both universal human experience and the particular struggles of a young woman today.” (Huffington Post)Rupi’s poetry is simple, relatable, gorgeous, and grounded in the everyday experiences of young women. (Rachel Grate, Hello Giggles)”A must-have poetry collection about healing and hope.” (Bustle)Rupi Kaur’s first book, Milk and Honey is the poetry collection every woman needs on her nightstand or coffee table. Accompanied by her own sketches, the beautifully honest poems read like the everyday, collective experiences of today’s modern woman. (Erin Spencer, Huffington Post)“Discussing themes of love, loss, and healing, Milk and Honey finds a way to connect to every reader. “ (Business Insider)”Milk and Honey brings any tormented reader to an enlightened state of self-reflection that may have taken years to accomplish alone.” (Elite Daily)The honest words of Rupi Kaur leave you continuously wanting more as she writes with eloquence and poise. Her work will send you to past thoughts and realities you might not have known you had. (Sienna Brown, WildSpice Magazine)Rupi Kaur’s writing echoes of artistry and wisdom which is seen in the work of those that have been writing for years. (Samira Sawlani, Media Diversified) About the Author Rupi Kaur is a poet, artist, and performer. Her works have taken the literary world by storm. Her second book, the sun and her flowers—an instant global bestseller, is an artistic sibling to her debut, milk and honey—one of America’s bestselling books of 2017.“i am the product of all the ancestors getting together and deciding these stories need to be told.”Rupi sees her work as an articulation of this vision. She’s an eternal artist. At the age of five, her mother handed her a paintbrush and said, “draw your heart out.” At seventeen, she happened upon a local open mic night where she performed her first spoken word poem. She fell in love with performance poetry that night. Rupi continued performing across Canada, while building a community of readers and poetry enthusiasts. While studying at the University of Waterloo, Rupi wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first collection, milk and honey. In the years since, milk and honey has become an international phenomenon. It’s sold over 3 million copies, been translated into more than 35 languages, and landed as a #1 New York Times bestseller—where it has spent more than 100 consecutive weeks. “i am the first woman in my lineage with freedom of choice. to craft her future whichever way i choose. say what is on my mind when i want to. without the whip of the lash. there are hundreds of firsts i am thankful for.”Rupi explores a variety of themes in her work ranging from love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, migration, and revolution. She’s a storyteller and chronicler—a repository of community and history. There’s a simplicity and nuance to her work that has found a home in the hearts of millions. This magic is captured in her stage performances, which are magnetic musical interactions of poetry, art, and theater. Rupi’s long-awaited second collection, the sun and her flowers, was published in 2017 and debuted as a #1 global bestseller. Within the first three months it sold a million copies and was embraced by readers worldwide. She’s a Forbes 30 under 30, an editor of the 2016 Mays Literary Anthology of New Writing from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and one of BBC’s 100 Women. Rupi hopes to continue her artistic exploration through art and poetry—searching for ways to understand and articulate.i standon the sacrificesof a million women before me thinkingwhat can i doto make this mountain taller so the women after mecan see farther – legacy <div id="
When my 8th grader asked for this book I read the reviews and ratings and ordered it because (1) yay, she’s reading and (2) totally on board with women’s empowerment. I did not see anything in the information about the sexually explicit “poems” or graphics sprinkled throughout. There will be a page with something totally appropriate for a middle school/high schooler, then bam! you get hit with a shocking graphic or verse. (I tried to post an example and my review was denied because it was too obscene. Enough said.) Thank God I picked it up out of curiosity so I could explain to her why I was going to shelf it for a couple of years before giving it to her. There are some good messages for girls/women, but on the other hand I may never be able to eat another cantaloupe again. The quality of the writing (meh…) is not the issue here because the shock value screams out so loudly.
I am so disappointed in this book. I finished this book in under 30 minutes. I only liked maybe 3 or 4 poems. Most of the poems sound like the tweets and Facebook statuses of a whiny 14 year-old. Other poems were just uncomfortable to read. I think there is power and something unequivocally beautiful about poems that eloquently speak about pain, the strength to overcome, and the growth that ensues. The poems were awkward, overrated, and underwhelming. I can’t get over the format either. There were poorly drawn sketches next to a many poems. One poem was even placed in-between the sprawled legs of a woman as if the poem was her vag. Also, all the letters were in lowercase which drove me NUTS. It would be worth checking this out in the library before purchasing it.
Based on the dichotomy of positive and negative reviews, it’s clear that “Milk and Honey” isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I enjoyed it, but then I could relate to many of the stories of love, heartache, grief, pain, and healing conveyed throughout this collection. I fully understand that others may not find any such connection with Kaur’s writing, particularly if they haven’t experienced the human condition through a lens similar to Kaur’s. In a medium like poetry, the essence of the author’s personal expression is as an individual sharing something that is both honest and personal — not everyone is going to appreciate it and that’s okay.
kudos to the marketing team behind this book that havemanaged to hype up asteamy turd of literature.the authormay have lived a verytraumatic lifebut this is not poetry or anything that resembles poetry.very dumbed down,maybe would have gotten a C-had I written any of these in middle school,how are people actually enjoying this book?My14 year oldrequested it(trendy)and even she read a page and was disappointed…bland and unimaginative.PS: I have now written poetry according to the example set by milk and honey
Borderline x rated at times. Feels like reading poetry from a teenage girls diary, delving into depression, rape, and suicidal tendencies. Probably not a book that you want in a teen’s hands to say the least.
being a man, i read the first few pages and could not put it down. read the entire book in just over an hour. read every little bit carefully. so much emotion rose from me after reading this. has become apart of my collection. in love with it.
To me this book proved that you can write down whatever random thought you have and call it poetry and that’s fine, it just wasn’t to my taste. I should’ve read more one star reviews. I was looking for poetry by a young upcoming poet and maybe I am stuck enjoying an older generation of poets who grew up without the advent of social media. It reads like a bunch of text messages.
I’m going to be that person. I purchased this book thinking there was no way I couldn’t appreciate it. With amazing reviews and topping the charts, I was so excited to read this. I was incredibly disappointed. The book resembles Facebook statuses from your one friend who is overly emotional about an ex. The beginning of the book did not have me in tears, but questioning the language. I feel poetry is where you have the most freedom to play with words and how they flow and sound together, and it really did not meet my expectations. Some of the one liners I’m sure I’ve seen from other people on photo captions – so basic that it’s difficult to call it original material. I felt uncomfortable reading it, and I really wanted to feel empathetic. It wasn’t for me at all. Probably the most disappointed I’ve ever been after reading poetry.
I’m not easily shocked.My main concern is that this book if being promoted by someone on you tube aimed at 12/13/14 year olds.I do not consider this modern poetry.As someone who has worked with adult surivors I would say this is not suitable reading let alone for a teenager.
Ich habe dieses Buch auf Wunsch meiner 13jährigen Tochter (Nebeneffekt das Aufbessern der englischen Sprache) bestellt und möchte nachfolgend Ihre eigenen Worte gerne zusammenfassen.Die Gedichte in diesem Buch sind wunderschön geschrieben und gehen einem wirklich ans Herz, regen zum Nachdenken an und werfen Fragen sowie Zweifel auf. Es werden zugleich viele Emotionen geweckt die einen wirklich auch fesseln weiterzulesen, die Schriftstellerin Rudi Kaur hat Ihre geschriebenen Zeilen wirklich gut bedacht und auch verständlich geschrieben, dennoch mussten wir stellenweise die sinngemäße Übersetzung googeln :-)Einziges Manko an diesem Buch ist, das sehr viele Seiten nur mit ein paar Wörtern beschrieben sind (siehe Bilder), daher 1 Stern Abzug in der Wertung. Wahrscheinlich wurde das auch bewusst so gemacht, jedoch gefällt uns das nicht so gut.Generell würden wir eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen und es wohl auch wieder kaufen!Mit der Lieferung durch Amazon war alles perfekt, das Buch in NEU Zustand und in Umverpackung geliefert.Sollte unsere Rezession für EUCH hilfreich gewesen sein, so würden wir uns freuen, wenn Ihr einen Klick auf den NÜTZLICH Button machen würdet 🙂
Maybe one in every 20 “poems” is any good. As another reviewer pointedly said, writing common sense short sentences in random spaces without punctuation or capital letters does not make it poetry. It feels more like a collection of my friends’ half-arsed Instagram captions…
I feel like this book is very misleadingWhen the book arrived I thought it looked lovely. However I then went on and started to read the book and was very shocked by the contents. Quite graphic, uncomfortable “short stories“ or “quotes” whatever you want to call them.I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for nice quotes or a positive read. I bought a book about self-love and this was on the recommended list.
I was a bit perplexed about all the hype around this book. Some of the poems, in their simplicity and directness, I found beautiful and sounding “true”. But many more were, to me, quite banal and empty. I also felt a bit uncomfortable with how graphic some of them are, but this may be just personal preferences. To me, 2 1/2 stars for this books – halfway.
