Synopsis
this is the journey of
surviving through poetry
this is the blood sweat tears
of twenty-one years
this is my heart
in your hands
this is
the hurting
the loving
the breaking
the healing,
Canadian poet Rupi Kaur’s poetry started as a series on Instagram before Kaur self-published a collected volume, Milk and Honey, which quickly became a US bestseller.
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.
Read an exclusive new poem from Rupi Kaur taken from her new collection The Sun and Her Flowers.

Milk and honey
Such a lovely book! Your mindset will change.
Lacking depth
There are consistent and sound feminist statements in this series but I felt it severely lacking in substance, nuance, pleasure.

Encouraging and brutal
Honest and inspiring
Unique and in your face.

Every word stuck with me once I finished it.

It’s so hard to find a book which you related to and for me this is it. So many emotions shared and I absolutely love Rupi.
Finished all Rupi Kaur books in one sitting
I love this book and the journey of healing it brings you on. It has such raw honesty. If you like this just wait till you read her other books.

A Bit Dark for me
I completely appreciate Kaur’s expression but for me I had to stop early on as it was a little to dark for me.
This is not poetry
