I like when she talks about her experience as an immigrant in Canada, or about feminism, capitalism, more in depth problems of society. The parts about healing the self are ok too, but not gonna lie, I feel like this is more powerful when spoken out loud, or performed. It doesn’t sound like it was written to be read silently with the eyes.
A little part I liked:
“nothing can replace
how the women in my life
make me feel”
To my best friend; if not for you, I would’ve already been lost in my own darkness, you constantly bring light into my life.

Beautiful as always. The section title “rest” was definitely my favorite because it was very relatable and applicable to my life.

I've been trying to incorporate more poetry into my reading as of late, and a friend suggested home body by Rupi Kaur. I haven't read her other collections and don't know if they're similar to home body, but I think I prefer more longform poetry versus Kaur's often shorter style. The topics resonate strongly with me, but the shortform of most of these isn't my favorite. Those ones feel more like notes-to-self, and I struggle to enjoy them when they're so brief.

super fun and touching! I annotated it for a friend <3
I liked this! I know Rupi Kaur’s poetry is not for everyone, but I enjoy her books. I am always impressed when she can capture a feeling so completely in just a few words.
