Summary
The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter
serves a different purpose. Deals with a different pain.
Heals a different heartache.
Milk and Honey takes readers through a journey of
the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them
because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing
to look. ** 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) 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) Rupi’s poetry is simple, relatable, gorgeous, and
grounded in the everyday experiences of young
women. (Rachel Grate, Hello Giggles) 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.
"A must-have poetry collection about healing and
hope." (Bustle) When she was five, her mother handed her a paintbrush and
said, “draw your heart out.” Rupi Kaur views her
life as an exploration of that artistic journey. Through her
poetry and illustrations, she engages with love, loss,
trauma, healing, and femininity. For Rupi, writing has always
been a collective experience. At the age of seventeen she
began sharing her work. The stage was her first love and
spoken word is where she found her voice. Rupi pursued her
love for language by studying rhetoric at the University of
Waterloo. She began working on her first collection
milk and honey, which eventually became a
New York Times bestseller. Rupi’s passion is
expression. For her that expression takes many forms. Her
photography and art direction are brought to various spaces
around the world and her poetry and prose are breaking
international boundaries. Review
