as she held me in her arms as i wept

in the garden each year

I hadn't read Milk and Honey so came to this book with no preconceived expectations. As a big fan of poetry I love to find new poets who inspire me and make me question my own view of the World. I enjoy reading poems that are hard hitting and don't shy away from the brutality of the World today. Rupi's poems in this her second book are written with love and from the heart. The offer a glimpse into the life Rupi has lead and the trials and tribulations she has gone through to get where she isAm I reading this book bc my reading challenge is getting a little out of control??? Psshshhhhh no, of course not why would you think something so preposterous ????Anyways so I read Milk and Honey last year and I sorta loved it and when I HEARD there was another one I was like yes this woman can write gimme some moreAnd thats what this book isBut its better than milk and honey imo why is it that when the story endswe begin to feel all of it the illustrations are ABSOLUTELY perfection, I love
I don't know where to begin. Listen, as a brown woman of course I gave Rupi a try - that's what we brown girls do, we hold each other up and support each other like crazy because who else will? However, I think we should also be able to speak up when the work just doesn't cut it. Being critical is simply tough love - so don't be so quick to dismiss my negative feeback.First of all, half of this book are one-liners from her first book, and most of her longer pieces felt lazy and ill-thought out.
Heart breaking yet empowering - a woman's journey of growth - (wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming) as she comes to terms with her past, present and future. As a man this book touched me because I never was aware of all the different ways we try to make women conform to 'our' idea of what they should be. If you have a friend trying to put their life back together after a break up this book will help them focus on the path they need to take.
the lines of the poems were much longer than milk and honeys and the poems overall were longer(sometimes too long)which I greatly appreciated,but I found it repetitive at timesand I didnt know where it was all going.I loved the talk of girl love & self love & representation & feminism & rape cultureand of course Rupi Kaur delivers it all in a beautiful choice of wordsbut something was missing for me.something was lacking, somemagicalaspect that I found in milk and honey.but it
Rupi, you have my heart ❤ beautifully written and ohhh the art :)
